Yes, it's an SHO. Also, it's a coffee table/mancave art piece.

Long story short, I went through it to freshen it up  (new main/rod bearings, timing belt, head gaskets/bolts, water pump, etc) to put in a project car, but ended up selling the car to a buyer who had other plans for it (EV swap), so I decided to make a coffee table out of the SHO DOHC 3.0L V6. Modified the intake, got rid of covers, used a 3.2 pump pulley to simplify the serpentine drive, fabricated a stand from old Bronco overload leaf springs, used ex-Nascar stainless valves as glass top supports, painted, polished, etc.

It was a fun little project of it's own, but it's been sitting in my shop ever since. I figured somebody could use it as a display, or just a cool piece of automotive art.

If you're shopping for someone who has "everything" - well, here ya go.

That is really cool and would definitely let you SHO off your love for Ford.

If I bought that and put it in my house, would that make me a SHO off?

That's a really nice table but it would be even better in a car smiley

I really shouldn't be asking this but what were you wanting for this?

I suppose if earlybroncoguy1 goes into this as an income stream, he'd be in SHO-business.

It is definitely a great looking engine, but it doesn't beat out my favourite coffee table - a Lamborghini Miura V12.....
