where can i get a new engine

[taurusshoguy89]

where is the best place to get a create engine for my gen 1 and i want to find the cheapest one i found one at auto zone but i dont know how good they are builty so i dont know if i want one there

I doubt the crate motor at AZ is one for the SHO. As these motors arn't made anymore. If AZ is rebuilding them I would be shocked, and I assume it would be known by now.

The only time to find *new* motors is everyone once and awhile they show up on ebay. Other than that, they don't exist. Either find a good used one, or rebuild a good core.

AZ probably has an account with a national rebulider like Jasper. http://webapp.jasperengines.com/webcat/catalog.asp
You can get a Jasper reman. usually with a 3yr/75k mile warranty. You'll pay more for it that way I suspect.

there is a listing for the 3.0 DOHC Yamaha engine at Auto-Zone. my last check resulted in a 4200 rebuild with a 1200 core and 1 yr warranty.

i check the create engine for a 89 taurus sho and it brung up 3.0 dohc 182ci and the price was 2999 plus 500 dollar core charge and then i looked up a regular taurus engine just to check and it was 1499 so are u sure they dont have them it might be rebuilt but i dont know

That looks to be the correct engine. I'm sure they are rebuilt or reman.

none of the engines offered at A-Z are new, all remaned or rebuilt.

I rebuilt mine and suped it up for $3600. $2999 for a stock motor seems a bit high.

Hmm, looking at that site, I see they sell transmissions as well. My car has the AXOD-SHO trans. Is this a modified/equivalent to the AXOD or AXOD-E?
