the thing with the svt’s is their thermostat housing broke every 20k so people were overheating them thinking they were junk, but mines not an svt, and as far as the ford fag thing goes me too. lol my long term project is actually a 1990 miata and im putting a 5.0 with a ford ranger rear end, it should be sick or suck but either way itll be cool as far as the focus build goes looking to run 14s maybe 13s if im lucky. just need to throw the turbo kit on and dyno tune it

Nice man! I like the Ford monster miata conversion better than the LSx swapped ones. Seems right keeping a ford in a ford.

I dont see why you wouldnt run 13’s with the Focus, traction providing

Depends on what ya wanna do with it. If ya want it to be a drag queen, yeah a C4 is gonna be more consistant. If ya want a cruiser id say throw the T5/T56 in it. A Viper-spec T56 with 4.30 gears would be NUTTY in that thing!

Nice. Car should scream with the TFS heads on it. Any other mods to the motor? Cam, intake etc.

A T5 would probably be your best all around bet though for it. But like i said, if you want to make it a nasty drag car, built C4 with a brake all the way!
