[aryanramsey]

ok guys i was looking around but i cant seem to find info on where to obtain parts to rebuild my engine.I saw that felpro offers the gaskets for the heads up. But i couldnt find where to get rings or really anything else.No one around here does any work on the sho engine in my area is there a place where i can send it off to?

I have a list of vendors here. I haven't updated it in a while so try to avoid Bittersweet.

SHOBros was selling a rebuilt 3.2l short block. You may want to contact them if interested.
Some parts are no longer available for the engine such as new oil pumps.

Well im buying one part at a time and im trying to get a parts list of items needed,i wanted to build up the motor slightly before installing.I saw that you can bore the block to a 3.3 and put different cams.But i dont know what else i could get in order to do that,like where to find a 3.2 block or what heads to get or cams or really anything else for that matter.I know autozone can order me factory complete heads but could i use that if i decided to do the 3.3 with a more aggressive cam?

The newer 3.0 (93-95) blocks cylinder walls are thick enough to bore out to a 3.2L (.120" over). The 3.3 is mainly an option for those who need to bore 3.2 to clean up the cylinders. The SHO uses low tension rings and under normal circumtances its not unusual for 150K mile engines to show little to no wear. The only difference in heads are the ability to mount the accessories; (the 3.0 and 3.2) have different accessory drives.
