Hey I see that superchargedshoguy has done this I am planing on doing the same type on conversion with my 93. But I am planing on using a 450hp 351w and a live 8.8 axle no IFS here (just to weak). I will be using an 85 lx mustang donor car. What do yall think. Tips or tricks. My brother keeps telling me to twin turbo the 3.0 that came out but I already have the 351w and I know how expensive these yamaha's are scence I have had mine for 10yrs. I will post pics soon.

Why is it that us in fla atemp this crazy shit.
lol

Thats funny considering the IRS can survive fine under a 03-04 cobra rated at 390hp but were actually making about 430 horses,just takes a few things to make em last when ya really crank the boost up.And we aren't talkin about a light car either! If you go head keep us posted with pics please.I am gonna do a DOHC with a mustang style K member into one of mine next summer,and yes there will be more than one turbo and it will have a IRS under it .Good luck have fun and hurry up! carry on troop

Removing the SHO motor kinda makes the car well...not a SHO.
There are other cars with much better chassis out there.

Like the Mustang he is using as a donor....

Yeah.. I personally HATE the IRS the Cobras' had. It's a PITA to make adjustments, The eccentrics don't like moving very easily and their locations (in a Mustang, at least) are pretty crappy. I'd much rather see a SHO with a Vettes' Monoleaf suspension!

Whatever happened to SHOguys' SHO? Has been been much of a success? Only had seen the car in the one clip with him in the grass.. Is it street worthy?

Yes this is true but the 351w complete. The 3.0L I took out is getting a rebuild and being put in the sho that I am driving now. Plus I am in the process of working out a deal for another sho.


And thanks for pointing out the IFS IRS long long day

Street rod guys put together all kinds of weird combos. Good for them, boring to me.

I'm glad that someone put the work into a RWD SHO, but it had zero interest for me.

If I was walking around a local cruise night and saw a RWD Taurus with a V8, I would hardly break my stride walking past and mutter to myself "someone with more time on their hands than sense".

It's okay Ron, most of us say that about you already!

If I were going to mess with a Ford swap, I would do an s/c V10 into a Crown Vic or a Town Car..........

I have no prob w/the swap idea, go for it if that's what you want to do, just can't be called a SHO, afterall the name came from the engines, so it wouldn't exist w/o one.

 

[SuperchargedSHOguy]

I parted mine out. Still have some stuff and put the bolt on trans on flea bay. Its a tough task. A few others are attempting it. Mine was completed and drove for a year before it met its maker due to my need to go over the top.

 

[Chuckblvd]

Alright so yall have talked me into puting the 3.0 back into it. Curently I am rebuilding the motor out of it to go into my 92. So when I swap it out I will rebuild the 92 motor to put in.

But it the meen time I will be mocking it up and first building it with the 351w just so I have that option and I already have the motor and trans for it here so its easier right now.

But I will be going full frame and front and rear frame rails so I will be able to put both motors in it. Also coilover on front with Upper a-arms and strut type lowers. I will have to move the firewall back 5in to get the c/g better. It will look stock on the outside and most of the inside (love the sleeper look) other than the cage to tie it all together.

I would post some pics but its just gutted out right now (not much to look at)
getting ready to move it into one of my bays.

I think I will start a new thread when I get some of the frame in.

I have the complete engine, as well as a transmission I was holding on to for awhile for maybe a local SHO or another project. Why, do you want it?

 

[32MTX]

man I could be interested in awhile. So have some fun with it for awhile and don't blow it up! That was a decent running motor, and with the addition of the +40's........... could be fun

I did have fun with it. It has been refreshed with new bearings and some seals again.
