Trade(or sell?) my running, driving SHO for a 3.5/3.7 Duratec?
@shomethe$$$ I don't know if they were sold here but I read on a wiki page that 2011-12 Rangers had a 2.5L I4 Duratec? I guess it has a different bore and stroke? If I am going with a 4 cylinder, I would want the best NA version I could get. @kevinspann Yea, I would rather do a T5 then the...- Dannyboy

Trade(or sell?) my running, driving SHO for a 3.5/3.7 Duratec?
@kevinspann @pjtoledo It's funny but I've been SUPER sick this week with strep throught so all I've been doing is research on engines and trannys and what fits with what, and so on. I think I've decided on a 2.5 Duratec out of a 11+ Ranger. It's a matter of buying a bellhousing adapter and...- Dannyboy

Trade(or sell?) my running, driving SHO for a 3.5/3.7 Duratec?
@kevinspann Yes, That's the conundrum. Do I want to go through a little more work for alot more weight and alot less power with the SHO? Or do I wanna get a Duratec and just buy one adapter that is known to be an easy bolt on for twice the power and almost half the weight. (Slight...- Dannyboy

Trade(or sell?) my running, driving SHO for a 3.5/3.7 Duratec?
@kevinspann Yea that's pretty much what I'm looking for. That or a F150. They are everywhere out here in wrecking yards. Just thought I would roll the dice here so if there was someone who was really going to appreciate this SHO it would be alot easier to get rid of. I also have a T56 out of a...- Dannyboy

Trade(or sell?) my running, driving SHO for a 3.5/3.7 Duratec?
@shomethe$$$ I'm in Nor-Cal. I'm not sure man, this thread may be a little premature. I haven't actually put a $ amount on it yet. I think I would rather barter then sell. If I could find as close to a complete Duratec engine as possible, I would probably trade straight across. This would be...- Dannyboy

Trade(or sell?) my running, driving SHO for a 3.5/3.7 Duratec?
Just testing the waters. I recently picked up a 1992 Taurus SHO, Red with Black leather, 5 speed (MXT?). I was planning a RWD engine swap i to another car but as I do my research I'm leaning twords possibley changing to a Duratec instead. If someone has an engine to trade or is interested in...- Dannyboy

Attempting a SHO swap into an e30
@shomethe$$$ I can appreciate where your comming from.......I think. Even if your aproach is little negative twords a guy who is just building what he wants for his own reasons. Not all our reasons are the same for what we build. No need to attack his or his mentors intelect. Think about it...- Dannyboy

Attempting a SHO swap into an e30
The 3.5 (or 3.7?) Duratec kinda succeeded the SHO I believe. Actually I think the 3.5 is now an Ecoboost motor? I can't remember, one is turbo'ed making it an Ecoboost, one is normally aspirated making it a Duratec. I highly considered the 305hp 2011 -2015 3.7 (?) Mustang engine. All aluminum NA...- Dannyboy

Attempting a SHO swap into an e30
Honestly if it had been a T5 tranny that I had sitting here that's what I would be using. I would have just had to do alot of upgrading inside the T5 mostly for RPM. The T56 is great and actually light compared to other 6speeds, like a Richmond for example, but it's heavy compared to a 5 speed...- Dannyboy

Attempting a SHO swap into an e30
@Hambler I put a 98 all aluminum 4.6 DOHC Cobra motor with a T56 in my buddies old style Cobra kit car. (talk about a bada$$ car!) My payment was that I got to keep the Super Charged 427 Windsor stroker motor and T56 tranny that came out of the car. So thats how I ended up with the T56. But...- Dannyboy

Attempting a SHO swap into an e30
@Hambler 58 Bugeye Sprite with a 92 3.0 T-56 tranny. IRS rear end out of an older Z. Have a Super Charger but probably won't use it. Full custom tube chassis. It probably won't look much like a Bugeye when I'm done LOL! Right now It's just a pile of parts, but it's all there. Or at least that's...- Dannyboy

I'll be watching your build closely. You seem like a guy that might actually finish his project! I'm starting a similar project of my own. Maybe we can help each other out along the way. Good luck Man!- Dannyboy

Proud Papa of a Brand New(in 92) SHO!
After reading a few threads regarding engine transplants, It seems that there is alot of negativity surrounding the idea on this forum? I just want to say, please don't try to talk me out of this swap. While I appreciate where the concern comes from, I will make this or something like it work...- Dannyboy

Proud Papa of a Brand New(in 92) SHO!
Hello Ya'll! I can't remember not wanting to drive fast. I mean even as a toddler all I wanted to do was watch Bow and Luke get that General Lee sideways or jump something! My first car was a 66 GTO and it was fast! I had it charging down our local drag strip in 12-13 seconds by the time I...- Dannyboy
