I believe the SHO V6 can bolt up to an M5OD.
It does. But you want a spacer/adapter to push it forward for intake clearance....

The Ford Taurus SHO 3.4 liter V8 Shares NOTHING with the Jaguar 3.9liter V8 engine used in the last gen Thunderbird & Lincoln LS8 which were pretty much off the shelf Jaguar parts, while the Taurus-SHO V8 was a Cosworth Block and Yamaha heads.

And FWIW the LS8 engines are far more common both as running cars for sale and in the junkyards, because they were I believe produced in greater number.

Nice to see you post. hope you are well. the yamabombers are definitely hard to get complete with full running systems over the ls8.

but properly prepared would be much more fun imo.

I tried to fight him for encouraging the 2.9 Genocide.

He chickened out.
