They are putting a V8 in a Taurus? I guess I am behind with cars. Good to know though.

Ford went to Yamaha to originaly build a HO V6 for the Taurus.

Then they built a v8 for Ford that was used in the Volvo cars.

Current production is I believ a 4.4L HO.

So Yamaha did originaly build the engine for Ford, but not specificaly as an outboard engine. You win.

Bob,
Your spelling is closer to TURD which is what the Taurus is.

I would have thought the powerhead would have to go back to yamaha in one piece, is the motor not under warranty?
