How hard was it to take off the intake mainfold? I just recently bought a 1st gen 5 speed and I wanted to do a tune up (plugs, wires, ect) and intake are you using to replace the stock air box?

[92sho16]

@ricxxxhxxie Its really not to bad but if its been awhile since the intake has been off your going to want to replace the gaskets. I would head over to the SHOforum.com and do some reading, you will find a lot of answers there.Just remember to search first.

where did you get the exhaust manifold for it i couldnt find any

[92sho16]

@TransAmFTW The mainfolds are stock, custom pipes to plumb the turbo.

where did you find intake for your car



[92sho16]

@yaboykevin1 Its the stock intake manifold painted to match the color of the car, ford paint code LA.

@mayjahmann not sure where your located but i have a hood, also have you checked ebay or the sho forum?

i found a 92 or a 95 sho not sure which it is for sale. $1200, im not sure what to look for in terms of what might be wrong with it. A co-worker of mine is selling it. He wanted $2500 at first i guess but he told me 12 because i've been friends with him for awhile and i really need a car right now. Can anyone tell me what i should have checked out on this car to make sure its not going to just die on me and even so is it worth the investment?

it is really kick ass. i have a 94 gl that i am dumping a 3.8 essex supercharged thunderbird motor in. it will be a rather fun car. good luck to you and your taurus.

Wow, man. That thing is crammed in there. I wonder about the heat build up with everyday driving--not to mention high rpm's when your runnin' hard. I always thought it was strange how the 2nd gen SHO's were 3.0 if it was a 5 spd. and 3.2 if they were automatics. I heard Yamaha wanted more torque for the automatics so they increased the displacment.

please tell me when you got the performance parts

[vortex2450]

I'm diggin the crazy vac line just protruding from the intake, haha
