Engine Swap

[calicowboy]

I needed to know, if anyone has replaced a 3.0 SHO engine, in replace of a regualar 3.0. I have a 97 Taurus GL, and the engine is jacked, so I am going to have to replace it. I needed to know if anyone has done this before, and how hard it was, and what exacly they did. Thanks

it's been done in older taurui but i don't think the yamahammer will fit under the 96+ hood. there is always the v8 but that would be expensive and incredibly hard to swap (wiring, Sarc, ect..)

and OBD1 engine in an OBD2 car will get a little complicated. i would go witht he v8 sho motor. just remember to have the cams welded

not sure about the sho motor. But......

Have you thought about the other 24V motors (duratech I think?) that came in the '96 and later taurus? That swap might be easyer to do.
