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...

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.
