Cool idea Dan! You never see Taurus', other than stock. Can't wait to see the build.

I've thought of putting the Yamaha engine into an early Mustang. It's just so cool looking! It would be cool in a fox body too.

the mustang rims look pretty sick on this one too!

great sleeper before with Yamaha motor and after! 4.6 style!

Cool idea. I often thought of doing something similar with a Ford Probe body. Perhaps even mid engine?

Tony

ford probe would be wicked killer as a midship........

got another taurus promo in trade so hope to get this project moving again!

Have you ever looked at Jay Leno's garage web site. He has a Fiesta or a Festiva with a rear mounted SHo engine. It is called a Shogun or something like that. He likes the car because it is nimble with plenty of power.

In the real world all it takes is a C4 out of a Aerostar for the rear drive Sho engine. I love the EXP idea.
