well Ford Racing sells everything you need to turn a Focus into a Cobra drivetrained car for around 50K with the NEW car and all NEW parts and an RS bodykit. That one uses a Cobra 8.8 IRS and DOHC 4.6 Supercharged V8. So basically a 400hp RWD Focus

It isn't cheap..nor easy.. Better off starting with the rwd car.
Youd need to be a pretty advanced engineer to design the rear suspension from scratch, which you would most likely need to do if you didnt find a kit for your car. Could need a different transmission.. Drive shaft.. Axles... In essence prolly be cheaper to take your cars body and put it on another car that is rwd lol.

That focus kit is nice though (seen one run at the dragstrip).
