914 SHO - who dunit?, I'm going to do it - 3.2L V6 SHO Options

[3d914]

I thought I read a posting that listed all the different types of 914 conversions done over the years. I saved it but can't find it for some reason.

Anyhow - I remember there being a 914 SHO V6 in the list. Does anyone know who has done one of these - not just thought about it, but actually built one?

I'll go it alone if necessary, but I'd be curious to discuss some approaches with someone who's been there.

The Ford SHO was a taurus with a high performance motor built by Yamaha. One of the most beautiful intakes ever on a production car. It is reported to be capable of reving to 10,000 rpms without breaking a sweat. Keeping the belts on would probably be a problem if you had the guts to try (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Here's a couple pics to show the height. I doubt a dry sump pan would be enough. It looks like the crankshaft centerline to the top of the intake is too far to fit in a 914 engine bay.

back when ford was developing the motor it would puke out the alternator guts spinning it so fast and the only way they could granade it at high rpms was to run it dry. i remember driving it when it first hit the showroom, that thing pulled (smooth as silk) all the way thru the band

insanely beautiful intake, it has 2 powdercoated sets of intake runners... one for bottom end than switches over for upper rpm

GO 4 IT!
