I would never buy an SHO V8 motor to put in my car even if it did fit. The engine in my opinion is a steaming pile. They only managed to get 15 more HP out of a V8 when they had 220 out of the 3.2L 92-95 SHO V6 motors. Not to mention those things are notorious for having the cam gears walk down the cam shaft and cause the valvedrain to grenade. Run away from the 96-99 SHO's like you just faced death in the face.
