[Shotimes] Mid-engine, SHOgun type Q's

[Ian Fisher]

Sometimes I wonder why Ford put a SHO motor in a POS Taurus.

Wonder why someone would take all the time and trouble to stick a SHO
drivetrain into the rear of a POS Fest-Fiero-whatever?

Why not just stick this extra motor into the rear of your SHO, leaving
the front motor in place.

Think of it!  4 wheel drive... almost 400 hp to the ground... and maybe
only a 4000lb test weight...

Shifter cables from the rear hooked up to the OEM front rod shifter.  A
balance bar for the throttle and clutch, adjustable from the drivers
seat.

Could be a quick combination.

That is if the AWA and my job would only let me spend the weeks on end
in the garage to accomplish this horrendous task...
