Did Ford ever put a v-8 in the Taurus?

Did Ford ever put a v-8 in the Taurus?

Yes they did. The third generation Taurus SHO (1996-1999) had a 3.4 liter V-8 engine that was actually built by Yamaha. It was NOT a very reliable engine.

Sure, 1996 Taurus SHO 3.4 V8.

It sucked like the rest of that generation of Taurus. Enough to destroy the branding and change it to be named the 500 after.

Uh yeah… The SHO
