[Shotimes] V8 transplant into Gen-4 Taurus-Possible?

(1)  Maybe

(2)  Why??

The # number of cylinder doesn't matter. In general, 3.2 V6 ATX SHOs run as
well as 3.4 V8 SHOs. Plus, the 3.4 V8 motor is, IMNSHO, an unreliable motor
that is expensive to maintain and will never be as good as the V6 all-Yamaha
motor.

Has anyone ever contemplated dropping a 3.4L SHO engine into a Gen-4 Taurus,
such as a 2001 SE (which is what my wife has)?  Would it be possible?  How
hard (or simple) would it be, and what all would be required?  I think this
would be a killer in disguise on the street, and my wife really likes my car
('93 MTX) but doesn't like driving the stick.  I would assume that I would
need the engine, tranny and computer, but what else would I need, and what
would I have to modify (just to get the engine in and drivable, suspension,
etc. to come later)??

Now let the great minds go to work.  I can't wait to hear your opinions.
Thanks, as always, in adavance.
