    87 Octane in a Gen III SHO?

    Ran 87 in mine plenty. No adverse effects, except it is as slow as all get out. No pinging, no knocking, no issues. But I am being serious when I say I swear my bone stock Accord 2.2 non VTEC 5 speed would have out ran it. It will run just fine. Mine had no issues. I just got sick of it...

    Food for thought..

    As direct as shoving a modular V8 into a Taurus can be. I have not done it. I just read about it. Google is your friend, as it was mine. SHOrt story from what I remember. Basically, the Continental is the same platform. So the subframe and the like are shared. Basically, the guy shoved it into...

    Food for thought..

    OK, hear me out here. The Yamaha motor is awesome. However, the modular V8 out of the Continental will bolt right into the Taurus. Then you have the aluminum 4.6 in there already. And there is a lot of performance parts for that. I am contemplating stealing a circa 2000 Lincoln InTech motor and...

    High idle in Neutral or Park

    I would start with the IAC if there was no codes. Try cleaning it with some B12 or carb cleaner. That seems like the most likely culprit. I will say I had this issue a few weeks back on my Jeep. Thought it was the IAC. When it finally threw a code, I read it, and it turned out to be the TPS...

    I guess we are not communicating. Sorry. And I guess your name isn't Ryan? I thought I had read that somewhere else. Now what about a handle tag?

    Musings and Questions

    Not a rumor. Shares the same bore and stroke. Why do think we have a 60* V8? Anyway, a buddy had a Cougar. The 2 biggest things to making them fast is a 3.0 Taurus swap, and boost. Which makes me wonder if I could shove a SHO motor in there since they share the same bellhousing as the Duratec...

    OK, Ryan, this reply is for you. Hope you like it. Now, I am going to start out, and say that this isn't intended to offend anyone. And the fact I feel I need to say it, this will inevitably offend someone. I promise that is not my intention. If you are the sort of person who is easily...

    Musings and Questions

    Alright, sorry for the hiatus. I have read and read this all, and have some ideas. I am going to break this into 2 posts. It will soon become apparent why. First of all, I love the car. Even as it sits in my garage crashed, I am contemplating what I am going to do next. I think this might be a...

    Difference between SHOs built Oct. 88 - May 89 and rest of 89s?

    I had understood that only the 89 had the rod shifter. I also think one of the differences of the early ones was the smaller clutch. The 90 and up used a larger clutch since the original one wasn't holding up. Whatever year they changed the shifter, that is when they changed the exhaust.
