I doubt it could handle the power upgrades to make this a viable option. Its kinda like the Honda crv parts being used to make AWD integ's and civics, of the 8 I know of, 7 have blown up, and the 8th hasn't been running yet. Again, I ask if anyone has considered the 3.4L V8 out of a taurus sho? Will it fit to the MTX? Adapters needed? I spent some time in the Kit-Car trenches, there are a lot of adapters out there to combine engines and transmissions you would never think would work together. The sho V8 is a massively powerful engine with very good tuneability.
Just wondering.
