I recently read a write-up done in nytimes.com about Jay Leno and his collection of 100(!) cars. They mentioned how he liked to put exotic engines in some vehicles, the most notable I remember was a v12 engine from a WWII plane (a Mustang maybe) in the body of a Rolls Royce.

My question would be what crazy kind of engine do you think could go into a Focus considering it's size limitations. I already know about a rear-mounted v8, but if you wanted to throw up some pics of it that would be cool.

well, I've seen an inline pinto engine, a couple different v8s including a blown cobra engine, the rear engine 4cyl. and oh yeah, a jet engine.

Wasn't that one running a Euro-Spec 1.8L ZETEC (from the factory

), a Jackson Racing Supercharger, and some size shot of nitrous?
