Should be the same.
Ummm, no,,, if that was so,, than all of us would have done 302 conversions... Foci is not the same as a contour... just same engine...
And why would you do that? $4500 + install and you have an amazing 200hp.  For $4500 I'd have more than 200hp with the zetec and be plenty reliable (most likely more reliable than the VW, I know people with new jettas,etc. that are always getting work done), add the cost of install and I'd have even more power. Swapping a small engine out for just another small engine is STUPID. Especially when they both have good enough aftermarkets. I doubt many people are gonna do this conversion unless they've got a show car and just want to be different (and slower than any other focus with over $4k engine work done).
