Interesting. Always wonder how these prototypes go missing and when they turn up Ford isn’t trying to get them back.
Great read. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool. Similar story (more recent), the Yamaha SHO motor was also intended for a mid-engine Ford that never came to be.....and ended up in the Taurus!
Mid-engine probe :DQuote:

Neat.Quote:
A standard Boss 429 engine and C6 automatic transmission were turned around backward and installed in a fabricated, removable rear subframe, with the engine centered directly over the rear axle centerline. A custom-built transfer case, similar to a marine drive, turned the output 180 degrees and fed it to a 9-inch Ford rear axle, which was converted to independent operation with articulated half shafts and u-joints.
What a rocket that would have been!Quote:
