I am now the owner of 2 Taurus SHOs now. My beloved Green 94 thats getting turbo this year, and now this.
I picked up a rusty 97 SHO with 181k for $700. Things it needed when i bought it--> Passenger side rocker Is gone, transmission is a little iffy from 1-2 at lower rpm(already did trans filter/service), front rotors need to be replaced, RR caliper stuck (already got a new one), replaced one coil and all spark plugs, and radiator leaks (already got a replacement).. other than that it's a great car, happy with my purchase and its Alot more fun to drive than the impala and gets basically the same MPG.
This is not a Yamaha engine like my V6 SHO. This is a Ford/Cosworth block with Yamaha heads. Smallest american production V8 ever made 3.4L (207ci) DOHC 32v.
Its slower than my V6 because my V6 has amazing gear ratios because 5spd manual vs. 4spd auto.. But she still gets up and goes!!
