The SHO v6 is an iron-block 90 degree design that is wider and heavier than the compact, aluminum 60 degree Duratec. It won't fit under the hood of a contour.
While the Yamahammer does carry an iron block, it is a 60-degree V6, not 90 degree--just like its Vulcan step-father. Were it a 90-degree V6, it would need to carry balance shafts, much like the horrid 3.8 Litre Essex V6 that was available in the Taurus until 1996.
