Big a$$ engine swap
 
Has anyone seen the new 5.0L cammer crate engine that ford makes? They dropped one into a focus and made it rear wheel drive... Makes me wonder if it will fit in the protege...

Lol they probably extended the nose out a bit or something, i cant see how u would manage to fit a 5 litre engien into that tiny engine bay.

frame and chasis were kept 100% stock. Ask Phantom Cruiser....she stuffed a 351W into a ZX3.

p.s. ANYTHING is possible, it just depends on how much cash you want to throw at it.
