I'm toying with the idea on doing the conversion, but I can't remember who sells the parts for this. I think you can get them through ford, but who else is there out there that supplies these parts?.
The focus is just sitting in my garage right now not being driven, therefore before I sell it I am considering what my options may be. (and turbo, supercharger, nos are not on the books for me, I'll just buy a honda to do that to)

Yeah the whole kit is suppose to be bolt in, but welding certain parts in is the best bet in my opinion. Bringing the car over this weekend to the new place to inspect everything to see if she is worthy of this.

You'll need more than that, don't forget suspension and brakes, 5 lug wheels, etc...

I'll let you know some of the costs once I start pricing out the bigger parts.

Don't worry I have lots of big trees to jump from, as well as my roof its only a bungalow though might be too low. You could get a nice routine going since the lot is 250ft deep.

Doner car!!!!!!!!!!!
There are plenety of old 5.0L laying around.
any where from $1500- infinfty you name it.
You would have the full drive line.
With the price of gas people will be either shoving them in a garage or selling them fast.
302 block parts are cheaper

post your info, i'd like to hear it aswell
personally i don't think i'd put a fuel injected motor back in. It would be abit cheaper if you were to pick up an older chevy or gm motor and rebuild it, than it would be to buy a new or slightly used cobra motor.

Start looking for an insurance comp that will take the v8 focus, most places I called didn't want to touch it. The only place that wanted my business wanted $3.500 a year (I'm 31) so I didn't do it...
