Power - Zetec 2000cc 4 cylinder transverse mounted unit mated to a 5 speed manual transmission. This unit can easily be tuned up to 175 bhp but the standard 2.0 will propel the car to 60 in under 5 seconds so dont be too hasty on opting for tuning upgrades, this is a light car which means free power.

Donor - A Focus will provide the following donor components: -

Engine & transmission (1800 or 2000cc), drive shafts & front hubs, radiator & fan, engine mounts, fuel pump & fuel gauge sender, number plate lights, bolts & fixings, header tank, brake fluid reservoir with flexi brake pipes, diagnostic port. steering column, switch gear, ignition lock & wheel, ECU, complete with engine bay wiring loom & sensors, rear calipers & discs (subject to Focus model) hand brake, gear lever cables, exhaust manifold and CAT, seat belts, wheels & tyres. The dashboard instruments binnacle can also be used as this is controlled by the ECU. Easy wiring diagrams are included in the kit.

The rest of the Focus can be easily sold on to recoup some cash. Cheapest donors seem to be the less desirable estates or 4 door saloons. Anything with under say 90k miles are generally ideal and good value.
