So... Several years back I was out at the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit. I am cruising south back down Woodward in the Cadillac and while cruising down, you have the windows open, enjoying life and listening/enjoying the other cars around you. You can generally identify what is rumbling around you, but to my right, was a lowly yellow ford focus... There was this lumping, thumping mixed with a little buzzlike weird noise coming from it. A sound of no 4 cyl. Puzzled, we were looking around us to figure out where the hell this noise was coming from, until Lou (GOATCRUISER from the CHC days) proclaims... "It's the fucking focus..." Lou actually starting talking to him. Turns out he was a ford engineer that in his spare time, shoehorned a Terminator 5.4L in to this donor focus. :D

Now, I know the best option would've been an LS motor swap, but we won't go down that road. :p
