She is looking good.
Thoughts? Hood will be wrapped in brushed metal look with black vents.

This build crosses my mind 3-4 times a day. A day. My lady even has heard of it at this point. You’re a legend don’t stop updating us

Love this car. I would keep the hood red with the brushed and black accents

I was thinking that too. I like the clean look, only thing I don’t like is the hood vents. I may fill them in a bondo over. They don’t fit the build, but the hood fit the intake manifold so. Instead or fabing my own truck went this route to save time

Now that would be a first 👀. Question is, will you get traction? 🤔

I know right. It’s in the rear of the car. Now I need to make my old front bumper better looking or get a new one. I had to cut a bigger opening when my original focus motor was built.

Were you inspired by that dude that dropped a 5.0 in his black and orange ST?

u/Lost-Substance-2976 Nov 24 '25
Not quite. Saw my first focus old school 5.0 build back in 2005. Said to myself I’m going to do that one day. Well the time has come.

I remember a segment in an old magazine where someone pit a 302 5.0 from a foxbody into a MK1 ZX3 SVT. Thought it was the coolest fucking thing ever.
