Volvo 2.5 ST Engine in a MK3 Focus Possible?

[nazsky786]

Does anyone know if the Focus MK2 ST engine will fit in a Focus MK3 Focus?

Getting the engine to fit is one problem but also is the floorpan the same?

Meaning can you put rs front&rear axles on?

Very doubtful.

basic floor pan was the same till Volvo fettled with it the Kia feed used a focus floor pan but underneath they are totally different as for the engine in a mk2 probably but a mk3 I doubt it it wont be a simple job anything can fit if you spend a shed load if cash making it fit

I had a good look at this today and moved an engine over to see and the news is it can be done but as said above. It requires a shed load of money.

It is possible. Engine does go in, but mounting points are different as you could have guessed. But can be made.

Also it will start the engine, slight issues but it started.

Only issues really is the space to actually work on the engine is cramped. The RS axle system won't fit on.

Moral of the story is possible but will cost way to much. 

Best of putting in in a RS MK2 replica she'll would look better swell.
