I'm 90% sure that's a V6

[SuperHighOutput]

Pretty cool, and it's definetly a V8.

Sounds like any new ford V8 without an exhaust.

[flatlander757]

i doubt it is no exhaust at all(open ports). i'll say either open headers or a cutout.

It's actually a Yamaha built engine.

[lamehonda]

I thought the yamaha was in the old SHO v6.

[Pavlo]

Yeah, these ford sho's got the ford v8, the older one are the ones that have a detuned, rev friendly, 300hp Yamaha V6

[SuperHighOutput]

No the old SHO didn't make anywhere near 300hp, and the V8 sho uses a 3.4L V8 Yamaha built engine.

No wonder I thought it was a V6. That displacement is very small for a V8. Sounds awesome nonetheless.

What?! That sounded nothing like a V6! A V8 sounds like a V8 even if its 50 cc! theres some vids of a model V8 and it sounds like a much larger V8!

I said it was a detuned 300hp engine. With mild bolt ons it does have that hp, ford just didn't want a sedan smoking the mustang GT.
Please prove that v8 was built by Yamaha, I am pretty sure the later fords had v8 built by ford.

Well, I've heard many larger displacement V6's (3.8 +) with a decent amount of mods, mainly a nice exhaust, and they sound close to a small displacement V8 (4.0 -)

[lamehonda]

I didn't know that the V8 was made by Yamaha. I just read up and learned that yamaha helped ford develop both engines. I just know that the v6 kicks the v8s butt.

New V8 in the Volvo XC90 is also from Yamaha.
