ILWU82553 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Anyone ever heard of someone putting this eninge into a 510??? Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 No but I did see that 510 on cl with the 22re and comes with the sho motor I wonder what tranny he was going to use Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 A Yamaha motor and ford tranny in a Datsun? No. Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Yamaha motor? Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 SHO 3.0 is Yamaha, but I don't think the 3.2 is Yamaha. Isn't that in the new SHO? That one is Ford if it is. Why you'd put a 22re Toyota motor in a 510, I can't imagine, but whatever. Quote Link to comment

72240z Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 The 3.0 and 3.2 are both Yamaha motors. The 3.2 was used with auto trans to offset the extra drive train loss. The sho 3.8 v8 after it was ford designed. The 3.0 was used only with the manual trans. All the rwd ones I have seen use the t5 tranny which bolts right up using the ford ranger v6 bell but you have to turn out your own pilot bearing and work out the clutch. Plenum bolts up reverse but you need a spacer to clear the tb. There are a couple write ups if you google. I'll link one at the end too. No offense to anyone but I think anyone who would down the motor being used has never properly experienced it. The thing is WONDERFULLY designed, runs great sounds great, isn't heavy. Pulls ridiculously through the band then explodes once the 2nd set of runners kick in. It in a 510 makes way more sense to me then say...... a vg30dett, or a lt1 etc.... and is way less blasphemous then using a f20/22... and cheaper then any aforementioned. I've never heard of one in a 510 though. You may have hood clearance issues. People have thought about (think one did) dropping them into s30s and it was a close fit, would be way closer or contacting in a 510 I bet. Be the 1st though lol. I personally want to drop one into a roadster. Here is a link to a really nice Healey build using a sho and t5. http://members.cox.net/rdgrauman/Healey.html The motor is drop dead gorgeous Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I've rode in one that was pretty quick, never seen a rwd one though Quote Link to comment
Shonuff Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 *cough* yamaha designed the heads on 20 and 22r/e's *cough* Quote Link to comment

72240z Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Ya thats some cough lmao Quick in a fat american 4 door sedan lol, in a 510? pure fun. Fast fact that taurus sho runs a faster 1/4 then then n/a z32. How fast you think a 510 would be at half the weight? :o I owned one I was going to part and take the engine for myself but the title came clean when I checked it so I had to sell. Made a believer out of me. Quote Link to comment

MAG58 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 The SHO motor is one of the few Ford motors I'd give a dime for, mostly because Ford never really touched it. It's a great motor, and iirc it lives on (albeit a few generations later) in the Volvo 60 degree V8 used in their front drive cars. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Never really thought about that motor...could be cool Quote Link to comment

Patch Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I'll take the new twin turbo myself, but thats just me... :lol: Quote Link to comment
RoadRace Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 grassroost motorsports did an article on a Ford Festiva with the SHO motor in the back, as a rear wheel drive conversion - pretty funky set up. i'm not a blue oval guy, but that motor is one of the best ever to sit under the hood of a Ford. that being said, i'm also a fan of the hybrid, having put a 455 Buick under the hood of my 77 280Z.

The reference to a Festiva and SHO motor is the 1989 Shogun. There were only a handful built but made a big splash in the hot hatch world back in the day. Check out Jay Leno's Shogun.. That car would be fun.. http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/at-the-garage/custom-built/1989-ford-shogun/ Quote Link to comment

jratt Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 The current-day version of this is the Golf GTI with the Audi W12 motor in the back seat.. TopGear did a review a year or two ago, freaking hilarious!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9JD3n_vpDs This goes to the question of whether or not you can build it? But the better question of whether or not you should? I have a friend who is a SHO freak and has 3-4 90's SHO Taurus cars at all times, but for me I never liked the Taurus or its front wheel drive.. The motor is bomb proof! Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Speaking of little Ford hatches, this caught my eye the other day! Fiesta on CL Quote Link to comment

yellowdatsun Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 From what I've heard, the engine can actually safely rev way past the redline set in the Taurus........The reason for the redline they have is because all the other components couldn't keep up. Quote Link to comment

It's true, the alt was the main culprit there. Quote Link to comment
