86gt t-top · May 12th, 2008, 03:41 PM

so what do u think i should start with

HMUSN · May 12th, 2008, 03:54 PM

buying the SHO motor and transmission.

(as an fyi here.. you can buy a real SHO for under $2500 now a days and are looking at double that for the swap)

ReverendDexter · May 12th, 2008, 08:45 PM

The rule of thumb I've always heard for any motorswap is to get the whole donor car if you can. For a SHO you're gonna need a lot more than just the motor and tranny - you're gonna need the ECU, the wiring harness, the fuel systems may or may not be compatible, and if you're dropping in the 5-speed, the SHO is the ONLY Tarus that had a stick, so it's almost certainly the only place to find the pedal assembly you'll need.

HMUSN · May 12th, 2008, 10:42 PM

^+ 1

plus the entire suspension set up is different as well.. brakes too.

86gt t-top · May 13th, 2008, 01:11 AM

would i be better of just selling my 95 tarus and buying an cheap sho

are u realy sure that they all come 5 speed because look at this

Ford SHO V6 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

HMUSN · May 13th, 2008, 09:06 AM

yes you would be better off just buying one.. they are really fun cars once you get the cam gear welded.

they come in auto and 5 spd.. I would get the 5 spd as the autos had some issues.

86gt t-top · May 13th, 2008, 10:14 AM

ok but so my best bet is to get the 3.0 and then a 5speed

No, there were automatic SHOs, but the ONLY manual Taurii were all SHOs.

Urmm... all Taurii with manual transmissions are SHOs, but not all SHOs have manual transmissions... does that makes sense?

86gt t-top · May 14th, 2008, 12:53 AM

yeah i get it ur saying if it was a manual transmission it was a SHO but they had some SHO that were automantic
