I think most have opted for the xr4 instead. But I guess since the topic I up, do the lr focus engines fit? Could possibly find a cheap 2.0 example off a wreck somewhere.

You need the LT engine, the LR has the intake at the back...

Don't think so, they all use the IB5, but you would be better off using the current unless it is shagged!!!
Also, remember you need the computer, keys and barrels for a complete install.

The xr4 uses the IB5+ instead of the IB5
