SHO swap into Fox, one step closer Reply #45 – February 15, 2006, 09:08:10 AM The SHO V8 was based on the 2.5 Duratec, so I would imagine the bellhousing is the same as a Duratec. In that wikipedia thing on Ford engines somebody posted earlier I think it mentioned it Quote Selected

SHO swap into Fox, one step closer Reply #47 – February 16, 2006, 05:36:09 PM Well, a quick little update.The welding/redrilling the flywheel is going to be a no-go. The weld is just too ed hard to drill. We even tried a little heating to try and anneal it and still no dice.I did contact the folks at SPEC though and I can get a 157T SBF billet flywheel with zero balanced and with no crank pattern machined yet for about $260. That's not too bad really. If I have it cryoed before I install it I may never have to worry about it again. So I'm going to go that route.Picked up an engine plate and I'll need to trim out some of that to clear the rear seal housing on the SHO block. Not a biggie.Also, I checked the mini-starter...and it clears just fine, so no issues there.So while I'm getting funds together for the flywheel I'll start looking into the pilot bearing situation.

SHO swap into Fox, one step closer Reply #48 – February 16, 2006, 08:30:39 PM thats awesome chuck...this will deffinetly be one of my favorite swaps...sho engine just seems too make sense in a tbird/cougar. Quote If I have it cryoed where the heck do you get that done and would it work with a stock flywheel? ive heared of knife makers doing that too their steel to strengthen it..... man...my grammar flipin sucks....and i think its getting worse....

SHO swap into Fox, one step closer Reply #49 – February 16, 2006, 09:07:43 PM Well there is a place here just north of town that does it. It would work with pretty much anything. It strengthens components and on things with friction surfaces (like rotors or flywheels) it greatly improves the service life. Quote Selected

Here's a link if you want to learn a little bit more about cyrogenics - http://www.percryo.com/lead_page.htmWe used to work with these guys a lot, cryo-treating everything from valve adjusters to entire engines. It made a world of difference on certain things. Quote Selected

SHO swap into Fox, one step closer Reply #53 – February 20, 2006, 10:36:21 PM I've seen the Healy page. The guy did some nice work.I plan on flipping the intake 180* as well.I'm kind of at that point right now since I've decided on the billet flywheel and the fact that the pilot bearing can wait really, that I need to have an engineless Fox-chassied car in my driveway to be able to make much more progress. At that point I can get the engine/trans "located" and work on motor mounts. Quote Selected
