Trey, Trey, Trey! There is a way in the first gen! Think about it, since the Taurus has the 3.0L V6, as well as the Probe LX, that means that the SHO engine will bolt into the Probe since it comes from a Taurus as well similar to the 3.0L. There are some issues in the swap, but many have done it. There is one guy on Probetalk that has the SHO engine in his Probe, and it's even Supercharged. The mechanic down the road, he loves Fords and tuning them, anyways he said that he's seen other people with SHO engines in the first gen Probe, so it must be a fairly common swap. He said he'd help me out if I ever wanted to do it, or use some of the parts from the SHO engine, but I feel that will take much money, perhaps if the current engine goes out on me I'll go that route.
Anyways, was just basically saying that it can be and has been done..
