Very nice. We had ours running a week ago. Just gotta get a custom exhaust bent for it (still trying to decide whether to go with side outlet or conventional, and we've been buried in snow since Wed.).
I can't speak for Doug, but for us it was about 70 hours total which included rebuilding a cam failure motor. We probably lost about 10 hours working around a bug in the SCT software that wouldn't disable the PATS module properly. We've also got a '97 Sable getting a SHO drivetrain that should be done soon too.

Already? Damn you guys are dedicated. Oh man, I hope Kirk has the same plans for it now that he did a month ago. Im really looking foward to seeing that.

I just have one question about the wheels. Do they stick out as far as they look in the video. Looks like the wheel is 4 inches wider than the fender.

Do a 3.2 with a MTX?

It's actually a 240z with a 302 in it. It's a test bed for our next conversion job. We're taking a 280z and stuffing an injected 302 pushrod motor and a 6 speed in it.
Should be pretty neat. The car in the picture is pretty friggin' fast, but it's still carbureted. Ours will be much nicer.
We just finished the T-bird with the '99 Cobra motor and a 5 speed. That car was fast.

You can get in touch with Kirk, as the plans will be to build them to order. No prices yet, and a lot of it will depend on what (if any) vehicle(s) the customer provides as donor or recipient or both or neither. Obviously someone who calls and wants a (for example) black on black gen 4 V8 and wants us to supply the vehicle and all parts will pay more than the person who has a crashed '98 they want transplanted to a gen 4 car.roland said:so uh, this Gen IV somethin you keeping or something you lookin to sell

Very nice indeed Doug. The total sleeper out of all the Taurus line. Seems like you are pretty busy. What other kinda projects may be in store soon??? I have a feeling I may know what that is already, huh? ****.....

That would be nice. I'm guessing the electrical systems would be the biggest hurdle to jump.
Good work though, I like the gen 4 body. The interior is a little nicer on the eyes as well IMO. It's a shame they never made a Gen4 SHO.

"They" didn't. We Did.
For those of you that have ever said, "I wish I coulda' had a V-8"...
Well, here you go.
You have no idea how difficult this conversion really is. With a 6yr split in production, the electrical system is incredibly difficult. This is a 2003 Taurus that's now outfitted with a 1997 V-8 SHO engine and powertrain. Installing a '98 powertrain is infinitely [sl]easier.
