link please?
i checked out both Steeda.com and Steeda.ca in the focus sections and didn't see such a kit. a link would be helpful.
still, i doubt that is a complete conversion kit, also doesn't cover all the custom work required. i doubt any of the odd bits and pieces like the fuel cell, fuel pump, fuel lines, etc. and it definately doesn't include the motor, tranny, ecu, wire harness, rear end, driveshaft, etc... it's also in USD, not CND.
average price of the complete V8 swap, labor, bits and pieces factored in are running most people who have done the swap about $10-18,000usd depending on the motor and tranny used along with the state of tune of said motor! those are the facts from people who have done it, not speculations.
but please, if you know of a way to do the V8 Swap for less, i would love to see an itemized list with prices and install times.
beauty of the RS swap is it's pretty much "plug-and-play!"
not cutting or fabrication required.
re&re time is about 5 hours for the complete motor and tranny by a skilled mechanic on a normal focus, so maybe 10-15hours max for the full RS motor swap if you are using a front clip.
