I've always thought the 3.0L Yamaha V6 out of Ford SHO (220 HP stock) would be a great engine to swap in to a 140. I've seen a couple of these motors out of the car and I'm pretty sure you could get one to fit. I've heard they are light motors and are quite durable. You would have to track down a Ford Aerostar tranny and bellhousing to make it work RWD. I've seen it done in other RWD cars. Looks like and awesome swap. I'm pretty sure 220 crank HP and V6 torque, would make a 142 a "real car" Good luck
