Fantastic

I mean yeah it is, it would be awesome to just drop a 5.3 in and go but still.

?? Alright? I've worked at Roush and currently at Toyota, needless to say I've swapped hundreds of engines just at roush. But swapping out a bad focus engine for a working one is a whole different monster compared to putting in a whole different engine. Your talking exhaust work, mounts, wiring...
