i wonder if a 3.0l or 3.2l sho engine would fit in a 99 ford escort zx2 sport. that would be sweet, but i don't know if the tranny would be compatible though.

a stock tarus sho keeping up with a gsr nice enough for u to wanna say nice try but the better car is still the sho since the civic one by like what a car and a half and had the extra upgrades big whoop my bird will kill that thing

Why would Ford discontinue the Mustang? It has always been a good seller even when it was a Pinto with a ground effects kit.

No 160e10b4. Ford was going to put the Yamaha v6 in a car known to the rest of the world only by the code name GN-34. I can't find a pic of it anywhere and have never seen it. Ford decided against because America is full of geniuses that were not alive during the oil Embargo and were buying SUVs so Ford decided to make a ton of death traps, I mean Exploders... sorry scratch that Explorers. They wanted to Explore dumb Americans pocketbooks and give them the Baby Seal treatment when they were finished.

Jay Leno has a mid engine Fiesta and so do a handful of other people. They all have SHO engines. They did not come from the factory this way, some guy decided to do it. Leno has a 100 shot on it with stock internals. No problem.

There is another company in Japan that actually did fit a few SHO engines into another mid-engine car there. I have not done the research on that company in a while.

What was actually supposed to happen i believe is, Ford was going to discontinue the mustang, the Ford Probe was going to be the replacement which is why Ford bought so many of the yamaha v-6 engines thats what was going to be in the Probe. Mustang people when crazy and said that they would never buy a ford again. So they dropped that plan and had all these Yamaha v-6 engines and nothing to do with them so they started droping em in to sho's and whatnot.

ANY CAR CAN BE MODDED TO GO FAST... Just accept the game. For what is was the SHO was fast. When the Gen 2s came out you couldn't find a faster four door for less then $50,000. Time has moved on... That said, a blown or turbocharged SHO with a good Quaife in it is a good match for a whole lot of "fast" cars out there V6, V8 auto or WHATEVER. Ford originally intended to put that engine in a 2 door. So, what would people say about an Escort SHO or MR 2 sized, mid engine sports car like it was designed for?
LOL.

The SHO has earned its place as an interesting footnote. One vastly overlooked aspect of the whole equation is the reliabilty available from the SHO when cared for in its stock form.

the slow ones are v8 that on was a 3.2 auto . also slow

This makes no sinse a sho is a v-8 right....

yes .. since i bought my car (3years1/2) ive never bought a stolen part.. on ebay or speedshop.. i added some parts but not that much .. there was already engine GsR and all components with and suspension...

not a surprising outcome really......hopefully no stolen integra parts are in your civic....they're starting to crack down on that.....
