This thing is a 1991 SHO Taurus. Drove 2 hours to Potsdam New York to see the car and we get there, and we cant get the dipstick out to check the oil. Hmm. The guys says it has oil in it, but hasn't run in a year and has been sitting for four. So we hook up a battery and turn the key expecting it to crank for ever, but it turns over once and fires right away. And it has 45 psi of oil pressure, could be worse, but hell, at least it has oil in it. The transmission even works. Clutch too.

All said, not bad for $400.

I wonder if I can make a Thunderbird Super-coupe supercharger work on top of this engine.... Figure ill sace the trans axle too, for my '92 Sable. SHO people, I need your wisdom!

The picture isnt mine, we didnt get there until after it was dark and the photos i did take were taken with a potato.

The whole supercharger idea is a no go, only blower you can put on it is a centrifugal supercharger.

Just the man i was looking for! Why wouldnt a roots one work? What if i made a different intake?

looks the intake ports are completely different too. Would need to make something custom. Is there a way to carborate an SHO? I wouldn't want to do it, but I'm curious.

oh well. Only big modifications will be the serpentine belt and the clutch assembly.

the thing had no exhaust on it, we fired it up and it sounded really sexy. It revved up really quick.
