Drummaster, throw a post off to the V6SHO list (old SHOtimes and TechSHO combined) at http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/v6sho, I'm more than sure somebody will have the parts you need, cheap. I have a timing belt idler pully that's brand new if you need that. Ebay is your friend when it comes to SHO parts. I know you can get a good timing belt for about $40. Also, Russ McCoy has a really good site for gaskets and wires and stuff, I've done business with him many times with nothing but good results. His site is http://home.earthlink.net/~rcm_automotive. Now is a good time to learn how to do your own maintenance... you laugh, but I'm serious. Most mechanics are either too scared to work on SHOs or will charge exorbitant rates, especially for engine work. Of course, if you already do your own work, then never mind .

Sorry to hear your SHO was in such bad shape, how much mileage does it have on it? Most SHOs will last 200K miles with minor maintenance... as long as that maintenance is performed. Honestly, though, spark plug tube seals, valve cover gaskets, water pump, wires... those all go bad on the SHO ALL THE TIME. I've changed all of those, and changing the timing belt is never a bad idea. It won't hurt the engine if it snaps, but it's still a %*)#$ to get to on the side of the road lol.

I know it's a pain in the a$$ at first, I've wanted to torch my SHO before once or twice, but the end result is sooooooooooooooooooo worth it all. I still say no car on the road today compares to it. True story!

Ive always been told the 3.2 shos were interfirence motors so the belt snaps moter is scrap metal. Never had the heads off mine yet

It is non-interference.
