This is my 1990 Ford Taurus SHO. This is actually the very first 3.2 conversion MTX SHO. Thanks for looking, and don't forget to rate it :)

 

 

 

230HP/195TQ at the wheels.

 

MODS:

Drivetrain:

3.2L engine
SHONut +40 cams

155 lph fuel pump

Fully mandrel bent 2.5" exhaust with Dynomax race muffler (resonator)

Last dyno was 230HP/195 TQ. HP peak is 6700 RPM.

nice gen 1 SHO. one question how did you get your double core radiator in there with that 3.2L? they said it couldnt be done because of how big that motor is.
