Just for clarity:

USAC and POWRi

2.0 Focus is allowed to Port and Polish Head (must be Ford Focus 2001-2004)
Aftermarket Rods-Pistons-Cams-Springs-Valves-Retainers-Keepers-Cam Gears
Stock Crank
Stock Block
Bore - 2.011

This is so the Focus engines will not become obsolete and can be upgraded no need for you to buy a complete new engine to stay competitive.

Is this official? Have not seen anything about this from USAC or POWRi.

Only valve springs and rods no matter what size motor. That's what's in the rules.

Not true; they hinted at allowing up to 1400 but limited them to 1000...

you might want to call Bobby Griffin, Kenny Brown and or Levi Jones....It might not say it in those EXACT but what was agreed to is just what it says....As per everyone at the St. Louis, "do whatever you want to the 2.0 Focus engines, They still won't be competitive" quote un-quote.

POWRi:
Maximum displacement 2.0115 (122.75 cid)
****see note****
There are many "built up" Ford Focus' out there and we do not expect them to fix or change anything.


Again I have spoken to USAC (Levi Jones), POWRi (Kenny Brown) and Midwest D-2 (Bobby Griffinwhich was suppose to relay that to the IMRA (Tracy Hull).... it is as you see:

2.0 Focus is allowed to Port and Polish Head (must be Ford Focus 2001-2004 cyl. head)
Aftermarket Rods-Pistons-Cams-Springs-Valves-Retainers-Keepers-Cam Gears
Stock Crank
Stock Steel Block
Bore max. - 2.011

What this does is allow those with a Focus engine to become somewhat competitive with the Ecotec, Honda and MC power

PS. As per everyone at the St. Louis, "do whatever you want to the 2.0 Focus engines, They still won't be competitive" quote un-quote.

How do I contact any of these guys? My engine guy has been asking me questions that I just can't answer. The first thing he asked me was, if you can port & polish the head, and use aftermarket pistons and cams on a 2.0 Ford Focus engine, can I do the same thing to any other 2.0 or 2.2 liter engine?

USAC ask For Levi Jones...POWRi ask for Owner Kenny Brown....Midwest D-2 ask for Bobby Griffin. Midwest D-2 Bobby Griffin is heading up the Indiana group.

The Ford Focus is the ONLY engine this is allow so owners do not need to throw away an engine that is not competitive....most of these up-grades can be done for less then 3 grand and still use your engine ....you also can loose the clutch system. you will have to use the bell housing unless you find another way to route the water outlet from the back of the head.

So the extra 37 pounds of block and 14 pounds of aluminum bell housing sticks forward 5" front of the motorplate.
