SHO Engine in First gen

I am thinking of putting a SHO Tuarus engine in one of my first gen's i was going to go with a 5.0 but this thing will make around the same power and way less, has anyone done this swap?

i doubt any has done it...good luck, hope you're looking to make it rwd...i believe a 5.0 would be cheaper unless you already have a sho...btw there is a better after market for a 5.0 so why waste time w/ what WAS a good engine, all SHO's are dieing, they were nice...but gone.

I really doubt that sho engine weighs much less than a 302.
