The Eaton M62 is it too small for the v8 sho?

Yeah, it's too small. You'll have to overdrive the SC so much it will heat up the air big time. An M-90 (90 cubic inches per blower revolution) is almost too small for the 3.2 liter V-6 SHO.

You could always go ahead and try it though, and see how it works out.

I've seen an Eaton v8 SHO setup and it's incredibly difficult to get in there and use properly. Plus the low end torque is not really Ford FWD tranny friendly. I love the workmanship and ingenuity of getting it installed and running, but I wouldn't want one in my fwd SHO. Maybe a mild turbo/centrifugal sc... Not even then.

The only thing that sets the GenIII apart is how much more reliable it is than its earlier v6 siblings... And the exhaust sound.

M62 is way too small. M90 runs out of air about 6000 rpms.

Voice of experience as the first V8 SHO M90 operator.

I'm working on an M112 upgrade from my M90 right now. Have 30K on the M90 setup with much joy, but it is time for a change. Stock tranny only lasted 162 miles.
Heavily built tranny, with advice from Doug at Ford performance specialists - http://www.fordspecialists.com/ - lived for the whole duration.
Doug's tranny is gold - need more air.

Keep me posted Eric on your M112 adventure. Sucks I just sold 2 M112s I had here. DOH! I may try something like that if I keep my car around. Thanks man!
