No. No proof ever came out, other than it being a rumor from 14 years ago.

A Yamaha engine was going to go into Ford's 2-seater Corvette fighter that
never saw the light of day, then someone came up with the idea to satisfy
the Yamaha contract by putting a motor into the Taurus. Could have been that
before the SHO project that there was going to be something more substantial
for a 2-seat sportscar, but then the 300 HP rumor never said the motor was
n/a, either.

The rumor went away at least 10 years ago, but I guess that newer SHO folks
just pick up the BS from somewhere.

Of course everything you said is correct, but it is going beyond the 
original subject.  That subject being was there ever a 300HP yamahammer?
