[Shotimes] SHO engine in RWD

[Donald Mallinson]

Been LOTS of SHO engines put in RWD format.

SHOstar minivan (Aerostar)
SHOranger pickup
Cobra kit car.

and the Monster Healey that we are featuring in the magazine 
now.

Easy to turn around the intake, plum the water line from the 
(now) back of the motor to the front is the hardest thing, 
but easily done really.  Water flow is traditional as far as 
that goes.

The engine mounts to the ranger/aerostar tranny bolt 
pattern, so that solves one big problem.
