Taurus SHO fwd? in a mid engine car

[Spyder3000gtvr4]

Can a 2013 sho be used in fwd only reliably?
Ok not exactly sure if this is the right category as it could have gone into a few different spots. I called Livernois, they told me about a fwd drag sho. Found mo7ammed (probably spelt that wrong sorry) but here’s my story.
I’m building a mid engine Lamborghini replica type car with a full custom tube chassis. It’s set up for a longitudinal driveline. I always considered the f150 ecoboost with a6spd porsche or audi trans since I saw the pantera on gas monkey. Did some trolling and found a wrecked 2013 Taurus SHO non-pp with low miles for a great price. Granted it’s not the f150 but I can selloff What I don’t need and have the driveline/brakes/nav/gauges/wiring etc for free. So it got me thinking if I can use the SHO in fwd only in transverse just as it sits in the sho. Ideally want to be around 450hp/torque but need to know the auto trans will hold up?????

No, you spelled it right.  He's posted about his FWD SHO here before:

Not sure on the exact details of how the conversion of the PTU was done, but if done correctly, the transmission should easily withstand the level of power you are looking for.

Thanks silver that’s the thread I found him on and actually sent him a PM prior to making my post. I’m not sure of the details of his car... is it a drag car only, everyday driver etc. I read about what he did and his mods just would have to make sure I do it 100%! the right way. I have zero experience in the sho/ecoboost world. My other concern is I want to make sure it will hold up in the long run, especially if I add power to it with tires in the range of 325ish
