By all means George, do it up!!! We all would love to see it. And I'm not being sarcastic, from the looks of it on that V8SHO site the engine might fit in. 
Get er' done...Rebuild

I think its very possible it should fit in the MX3
Dosent that SHO site have any forums?

yowza... Not familiar with a v8 smaller than the 3.4 (not that comes to mind quickly, at least) other than exotic car use... I believe ferrari has used a 3.2 v8 if I'm not mistaken... sure it would fit... Here's how I figure... The taurus engine bay is no wider than the mx-6 engine bay, which is barely wider than the MX-3 engine bay... 
There would probably be a slight modification to the engine mounts, and a day or two spent doing measurements and calculations to make it fit properly, but it's a very compact motor... you figure that Yamaha specializes in making small motors.... and high performance ones at that... it's going to be a nice one from what I've read, it's a near-silent motor that is smooth as silk, and engineered like nobody's business that spells out fun to me

Put headers and a X-Pipe on that SHO and you will have one bad a-- sounding car
I am still searching for a SHO forum, anyone got a idea where to find one?
