Well not never, just keeps getting delayed. Another SHO arrived at my dad's on sunday, came all the way from San Diego. '92 manual. Black interior.

And to think I got my first SHO as a parts car for the swap, this one is now the 5th SHO.. When my '93 gets it's manual swap it's subframe will go into the Conti, since pretty much everything in the engine compartment is different from manual to auto, so I'll have that whole spare complete 3.2, not to mention I just put a new one in 2 weeks ago, (just passed the 500 mile mark this past weekend)

Yeah you can pick up nicely modded SHOs for cheap these days. Nice score, I haven't seen a blue/black one in YEARS!

I gotta get me a 1989-1991 SHO sooner or later.

As long as you don't can the SHO Conti idea I'm still cool with it. ;)

The wheels look great! Shame the blue one's just a parts car, but it looks like its gonna get a lot of other things working. :)

We're going to put another motor in the blue one... I have three spare 3.0s and one 3.2

We're going to start next weekend.

Kick ass. Thanks for keeping the SHOs alive. Sooner or later we can all appreciate new Fords, but in the meantime keeping the Taurus legacy up to par will have to do. ;)

i would LOVE to have a SHO engine in my 1989 conti. no one would ever expect it would they :)
tooo bad ford never kept them going. the SHO's along with the Lincoln Mark. and now ford is trying to play catch up. i think it might be too late.
