[QUOTE="nik96, post: 4648919, member: 50928"] False. The entire engine was designed by Yamaha with Ford specifications. The intake, heads, and shortblock are all a Yamaha design. Ford originally sent Yamaha a Vulcan 3.0 block to adapt their design to but where told the crankshaft support would not hold up the RPM that the heads and valvetrain required. Ford then gave Yamaha the go-ahead to design the whole motor. Your statement holds more truth in regards to the 3.4 V8 in the '96-'99 SHOs. The intake and heads where designed by Yamaha while the block was based on the 2.5 Ford duratech/cosworth. Ford also designed the rotating assy. and valvetrain. [/QUOTE]
