Hi, Guest
I'd trust Oscar's opinion on the rebuild, he's helped his Dad with more than a few and that's all his Dad does all day long... rebuilds. Literally.
Since the motor's yanked anyways... how much extra legwork is it to get your gear to the new motor? What about strengthened internals and bottom end while you're at it? You seem to want a fair amount more punch and one of the mags I read said the Focus was good for about 280-300WHP on stock internals but not much more. Of course, take that with a sizeable grain of salt. I also recall reading more of the same around the Jet.
Good luck!
