I am sure this has been out before! I was just wondering if a Taurus SHO engine will fit in the contour's engine bay? I don't see why not. If we can put 3.0L into it, why not a 3.8 (I think that is right, either that or its 3.4L the one made with Yamaha)? Any information on this will be greatly appreciated. Also, comments would be nice. Maybe a source for a SHO engine???


Ahem... The Yamaha SHO V6 with first a 3.0L & then a 3.2L (mated to the ATX)

Never was it the POS 3.8L pushrod engine.

The 3.4L V8 came in the 3rd Gen SHO's and was ATX only. It is a Duratec based engine. (bascially a 3L with 2 extra cylinder grafted on)

Not one of them would even fit in the engine bay much less would be compatible with any of the electronics or wiring. Nor would you even want to switch to any of them anyway.

If you had done a simple search you would have saved yourself the big embarassment of looking like a moron here. Several folks have already done that previously and now you have just added your name to the list...
Though with what's listed in your signature I think it's already a given you are an idiot. (cut springs )

2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
