is it possible to mount a SHO motor in a 2001 Taurus body?, I read somewhere that the motor was used in other cars because it could be used longitudinal or transverse.


any ideas or am I just asking a really really messed up question?

Yes it can be.

thanks for the pics, man, that inspires me to upgrade.

Perhaps it's the grumpy old man inside of me, but the V8 G4 looks impossible to service.

Same as the Gen3.

Yeah, it would be no more difficult to service than its original placement in a G3.

No kidding.

What's your point?

Ever try to change an alternator in a Gen 3 SHO?
How about a steering rack?

Well anyone who says that has never worked on a gen3.

Gen3's aren't really that hard to work on... I don't know why everyone complains. Everything from the bottom is pretty easy to get to and everything from the top is pretty easy to get to besides the rear head (which is easy to access once the horns are removed).

its just super tight in there. now a FWD ecoboost in a gen 4 would be interesting!

It's really not... a V6 TT engine wouldn't be any better with all the extra crap they have on there (turbos + tubing + all that damn wiring)
