~$10,000usd for the V8 Swap kit, not motor, tranny or driveline...
RS front clip $5-9,000cnd drops right in, not crazy chasis modifacation needed.
also large torque in a short wheel base = serious traction issues!
and yes a built Zetec would work... but build a Zetec yourself, it's still not cheap to do plus... it's still a built Zetec. the RS Duratec(*cough*zetec*cough*) was built by Ford, designed by Cosworth. it's a little different than a Zetec you could build, plus it's got the "cool" factor of being a RS motor.
like i said in my first post, it's not a swap not for everyone! as most people will say, "boost your Zetec, it's cheaper!" :rolleyes:
