Isn't that what the bostig guys are up to? I know they use the Ford Zetec
engine, but i'm not sure what engine is packed into the 2000 ford focus. If
its a Zetec, Bostig's where its at! I think they have put together a
wonderful conversion that addresses all the problems often associated with
the various conversions. Furthermore, they have the coolest logo of all the
various big conversion companies. This alone, is good reason to go "Bostig,
Engine Voodoo". They have built a cheap, easily accessible to parts, simple
(mechanically), yet modern, and easily expandable engine conversion. All
conversions have problems, its inherent in the idea of putting something
foreign into an otherwise well designed vehicle, but they can all be made
work.

If you've got the engine....my vote's go for it.
The people to talk to are the bostig guys, they will hook you up with a
great conversion, they're truly masters of their trade.
