[Shotimes] strange SHO engine on ebay

[Don McKinnon (AST)]

Can't be a 3.8l unless something really funky was done like the old wet
sleeve trick the SHO Shop used awhile back, which I doubt Ford would do!
Max using the largest bore and stroke # from the SHO Shop would be 3.615L.

SS 3.6L - Bore 3.622",  Stroke 3.500",  Displacement 3.546L, Rod to Stroke
ratio 1.651 :-(
SS 3.6l stroke with 3.3l bore - Bore 3.659", Stroke 3.500", Displacement
3.619L

IMHO, I'd rather spend the 2k on working over an existing motor than an
"unknown" motor...

That motor is easily worth $2000 or more.  I seriously doubt it's a 3.8
since the 3.0 block can't safely be bored out that far, but that doesn't
mean it's worth any less.  I don't think I've EVER seen a Yamahammer that
clean in my life.  Too bad it needs a new DIS.  The way things are going it
looks like that's going to be the problem with getting this engine up and
running.  Oh would I love to use this engine in the Shogun MKII.
