NAC - a Toyota Corolla question

[Todd Young]

Yeah, but can you buy a kit to stuff a 302 V8 under the hood of a Hyundai?

Personally, you couldn't give me a Hyundai. I spent 14 months in South 
Korea and saw those cars fold up like paper in accidents.

On the other hand, the Ford Focus has plenty of aftermarket support for 
the stock 4 banger and there's a company that puts out a kit to turn it 
into a rear wheel drive V8 monster. Heck, even Ford Special Vehicles 
Team has created their own version with a 500hp V8. There's an article 
comparing it with a Lambo in one of the new car rags, but I can't 
remember which one.
