[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 1674118, member: 9628"] A small amount of info. is in the Car and Driver Nov. 2004, page 108. The Volvo which is getting this SHO V8 is the XC90. This Yamaha V8 is now 4414cc's, 311bhp@6000 and 325ft.lbs.@4000. The article mentions how this "Yamaha V8 has been to the gym in a big way since those SHO days". "The original 3.4-litre V8 of 235h.p. has ballooned to 4.4 liters (269 cu.in.)" and now makes 311h.p. and 325ft.lbs. This article also mentions how "perhaps for marketing reasons, Volvo officials in this country have resisted acknowledging that the engine is a reworked version of the V8 designed by Ford and built by Yamaha that once powered the Taurus SHO in the mid 90's". It sounds like Volvo is staying away from the SHO connection?? Robert [/QUOTE]
