The 89-95 Sho's were Yamaha made engines.The 97's got the joint v8.I was a service manager for a Ford dealer that specialized in SHO'S.We modified a Sho with a stroker motor and clutch kit and a nice NOS bottle.We got 450hp out of that car.The owner used to race mUSCLE CARS and Porsches and win.

Taurus SHO ....I still miss mine
I owned an SHO for 3 years was an incredible car ! I can't believe they still don't make a version with this engine. Mine was basically stock with a few mods, intake & exhaust, but I beat alot of people with that car, was a sleeper for sure ! I had the manual version and that was a much quicker set up then the automatics.

Merc also made powerheads for Yamaha too (ie. 25hp 4 stroke outboard). My dad had one and it was junk so he traded for a two stroke 30 Yam.
In all my years of outboards before I went to Yamaha in 1990, I was a Merc guy. I much preferred Merc over OMC. Never had a problem with Mercs where OMC's were always headache for me (when I use them at work).

Totota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe GT's both use Yamaha engines
I had a Yamaha race motor in one of my SHO's (version of the OX66.. I think that is what it was.. keep getting different info off the net. 2.0l V6 is what I had.. stock was a 3.0l). Man, that was a bad mofo.
Long story how I got the engine, but Yamaha gave it to me.

They also have a five cylinder design in many of their engines.

The SHO came with a v-6 Yamaha engine, with a 5-speed manual transmisson. It was a Yamaha engine for a few years and then ford put in their own engine, which doesn't even compare. If you find an old one with a yami I bet it would be fun to see How it held up over the years.

That was the other way around. Yam made the engines for Merc. Merc did something dumb with the engines they got from Yam and a whole bunch of them blew.RX1MPete said:

LB is correct, especially all of the 4stroke Merc mills up till 2005 are all Yamaha heads. Merc now has there own design, which I hear is vertually identical to Yamaha's.LazyBastard said:
