now you take an off the shelf focus and put a 26 in and its impressive.

The length would be an issue I am sure, and SR would likely fit.

length is the least of your worries when your putting a RWD drivetrain in a FWD car and trying to have it remain somewhat of a car.

The Focus has a special trait that many FWD cars don't. In europe they come 4WD. That means a tunnel exists and rear diffs are available. That is why the V8 swap kit works so well. http://www.ford-v8-focus.com/i....html

HAHA! Are you for real? Who says the 240 has any more right to the RB26 than a Focus? I love how people get so dogmatic about this silly ****. look at the Focus people screaming as loud because it isn't a Ford engine. Get over it, it's an engine not a sexual orientation.

LOL WTF!!!

240sx actually HAS more rights to have any motor in them than gay ugly looking Focus. For one its the same make. 2nd not alot of work is required like the focus needed with the rb26 swap. 3rd import motor in a domestic car?? LOL they claim they have the best ****. ***** please....

Thats my .02 cent argument.

Here's another point to think about, you purists...

A Nissan motor has been available in a Ford chassis before. STOCK. It was the VG30E and they used it for some of their vans and trucks in the 80's. Suck it.

I just enjoy the assininity of the whole "don't put that motor in this car" BS. Seriously, find something relevant to take a stand on; hunger, poverty, the welfare of britanny's kids.

Bingo! It never mattered and it is your personal opinion. That is why it cracks me up when people get so worked up about cross-marque swaps.

I know what you mean. People take it over their heads just to prove a point over the internet and be a hero or a smart ***. Yea sometimes I go that extreme just to prove a ignorant a$$ a point and to put him in its place, but not everything should get worked up about. So you feel smart and special for 5 mins. Big phucking deal.
