Inside this 2003 Ford Focus ZX3 sits a 5.3 L LSx V8. The engine has been upgraded with a LS9 camshaft, LS1 intake, 60 lb injectors and a 76 mm Master Power turbocharger. Behind that is a TH400 four-speed automatic with 10″ Marty Chance converter connected to a Ford 8.8″ rear end with 3.27 gears.

That is a beautiful swap and conversion!
Im in the middle of a rwd v8 conversion of my 2004 Competition Orange Svt focus with 29,xxx miles on it.. so far the rear is done with mini tubs a 9inch and better suspension. I have the 5.0 front cradle in it, but thats it. Its been apart and taking up the garage for the past 4 years. Time and money are hard to come by with 3 growing kids
Sounds like a great project. Are you planning on running a 5.0 L?
Ls swap
