I didn't think the V8 ones were available with MTX (but then, you could fill a bucket with what I don't know about SHO's). Is that an addition? If so, am I correct in assuming a Duratec MTX from a Contour was used?
The V8 SHO's never came with MTX trannys. But I heard that someone was trying to come up with a plate to let you use one. If this car is a 5 speed that would be so so so sweet...
Dillon that is a great looking 3rd gen you have there. You can tell by my name that I have a soft spot for SHO's. I've owned 11 of them and plan to own more before I die. :)
Im also diggin the 1st gen you have to. :D
Ford forgot to make it an option. 1 of 4 v8 cars that have been MTX swapped. 1 of 3 with Ford trans.
This is number 8 or 9 for me. They keep me entertained I guess.
So what ever happpened to your cougar? This has to be at least 4 cars since I have heard about it.
It has been put away for a long time. It holds no dollar value to me so I won't sell but I refuse to build it less than perfect.
MTX-IV is what is used, 89-95 V6 SHO Trans.
What's cool is that it looks like it has some TurboCoupe scoops in the hood! Very nice touch.
show a pic of the top of the hood please
Nice SHO, I've never seen one swapped to a manual. The only thing I really know about them is you're supposed to weld the cam gears.
we never got the SHO, coz the taurus flopped.
I'd love to see what all the fuss is about :D
the above one actually looks pretty nice.
I was waiting for someone to notice after I realized I didn't have a good closed picture at an angle you could see.
TC Scoops and 70-72 LeMans cowl vents. I'm going to go over it again. It's been 10 years or so since it was originally done and it's starting to pop around the rear.

the scoops look right but I'm just not sure about the vents, over all the metal work looks good though. looking at one of my TC hoods, the scoops look to be further apart than those were they moved closer together?
The new one looks good. Do you still have the older ones?
the fuss is basically over the motor.. it's yamaha designed and surprisingly powerful for being stuffed under the hood of a taurus.. i never really liked them though.. they're just not an appealing car to me.. plus my grandmother drives an 03 taurus so it falls into the 'old people's car' category for me lmao
wouldn't mind stuffing the motor in something smaller and RWD though ;)
Think so. There is a ridge in the TC hood that had to be removed to flow on this one. The rear of the hood looks a lot better in person.
Still have a 91. Ive had 92,91,91,93,94,95,95,96,99. 91 I still have is fun but it's a toy. So nice to have a nice car again.
