We also deleted clutch starter and flywheel.
So you took a regular USAC legal engine 2.0 Focus and was able to upgrade as per D2 rules for 2 grand? I like it...removing the clutch assy. less weight, better pistons and rods for an engine already known for reliability. So I can take a focus, do this and should be somewhat competitive with the 2.4 engines...Would like to know the #'s on dyno. Sure hope this works out cause we were looking at scrapping the complete focus and going Honda. This is way cheaper. Did you do the head yourself?
