I bought this sho from my friend for 600 and all it needs is tires and head gaskets the car it self only has 88k on it and the interior is very clean same on the outside but will be black soon But how hard is it too replace the head gaskets on it would i have to pull the motor or just lift the body and unbolt the sub frame like the guy did with the topaz sho thanks

You could do the Head Gasket job in the car, but pulling the motor is not that hard and a much better way to do it.

Are you certain it is the head gaskets? They are often mis-diagnosed on a SHO. It is rare for a SHO head gasket to fail.

You should probably check and make sure the heads aren't warped then.

IMO, its very easy to pull the motor out of the car, and working on this engine is MUCH easier on an engine stand.
