Hi All-
I am considering buying a rocket, and I have been offered a smashed up Focus ST with the 2.5 Litre engine for next to nothing, and was wondering if it would fit in the rocket or not?, I understand from reading a few threads that it would prob need some modification but just seeing if anyone else had considered it or done it?
Thanks Mark

Hi Mark, Im fairly sure the engine will fit as the extra cylinder is at the gearbox end of engine. However, finding a gearbox that will handle the power and fit may be an issue. Obviously major modification will be required, as with all these away from the norm ideas. Worth a go i reckon. Go big or go home as they say. You will probably need to go aftermarket ECU aswell. Just to keep things simple and allow more power in the future Just my opinion Will

Remember you have a big turbo to find room for ide take a tape measure to it first but then again im only a novice with a st170 lump in the back of my sonic7. Weve had a few debates about best engine if deviating from norm think fiesta st150 came out as promising as its light weight and easily tunable apparently.
If in doubt ask stiggy
Good luck let us know how you get on.
