[Ferocious ZX3]

The Brute of the the expeses is the parts to do the conversion, combined with converting american currency to canadian and shipping costs It has gotten fairly expensive.

Kugel Komponents has authorized facilities to do these sort of swaps. However they use new crate motors and transmissions which escalates the cost tremendously.

Another expense are the rear end. The suggested rear end that the kit specifies is a rather weak rear end being a 28 spline 8.8" Ford Axle. I have opted to get a 8.8" rear end at a local scrap yard and rebuilt it with a 31 spline carrier, 31 spline axles, limited slip with upgraded clutches and springs and finally a Main cap Girdle this way the 357 wont reak havoc when I Have slicks on the car.

There are fairly expensive items such as the Radiator (675.00US) and the fuel Cell (675.00) I didnt purchase the fuel cell since It seemed like a rip off. Summit racing had nice 16 gallon fuel cells for 120ish.

The suspension is pretty well all bolt in using the Kit which is a coilover suspension for the rear and the fron is pretty well untouched other then a new steering rack and a few other things.

Here is a few photos of what the under pinnings of what it should look like. These photos are NOT mine these are of a car that was listed on EBAY a few weeks back.





And for your viewing pleasure here is a little video of Project ZX351 that gave me the inspiration to do my own Focus V8 Swap.
