Great engines built by Yamaha Racing for Ford to put into their new mid engine sports car built to replace the DiTomasso Pantera and challenge Corvettes. Unfortunately Ford never built this car except for a few prototypes that look like something Ferrari built, but they already had thousands of these engines already built and nothing to do with them. So they decided to put it into their best selling car at the time, the Taurus. The Taurus SHO (super high output) came in 3 generations. They came equipped with the MTX 5-speed transmission built by Mazda Racing. Great car for anyone wanting to put people to shame in a sedan. It will beat any Mustang pre 2005.

A great post. A good engine. The thing I like about the article in the link I posted was that it named some achievements made by American automotive companies in terms of engine building.
