First order of business...motor mounts.

I don't know Chuck, are ya sure you can handle that? lol, I still say when you're done, you should sell an SHO swap kit. Good luck!

Just wondering if there was any progress? I really want to see a rwd SHO that is feasible

Been sidetracked by ALOT of things. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to get done this winter. I've just got alot going on at the moment.

I know it's possible though, just have to get the time to do it.

itll be there! well as long as all the parts arent sitting in a field in the elements or something

but im guessing theyre not, prolly in a garage right? so dont worry about it, focus on whats important. at least thats what mom always says "be patient ITS NOT GONNA GO ANYWHERE." and i know shes right but its always hard when i gotta wait for whatever reason to start/continue a project on my car or something.

and i know its cuz im an impatient little KID, but that doesnt change anything. doesnt mean im gonna be able to resist it any better...

No the parts are in my heated garage at the moment. If I had more room to spread out it wouldn't be such an issue....

Chuck, That's one helluva job your doing. I had "thought" about trying to do that swap when the SHO's first came out. Big problem thou, no wrecked cars in which to get and engine, lack of equipment to do it, lack of place to perform the work. Then I lost interest and moved on. I can't wait till you're done with it just to see that it has been done. Great Job!!!!

Hey, I am working on the same swap into an '83 Tbird, and have noticed a discrepancy in the height between the crossmember with the steering rack, and the hood, and the height of the SHO motor, to the tune of 5" in the wrong direction. Have you thought about it?

If one will fit under the hood of a Merkur XR4Ti...it will fit under the hood of a Tbird.....

ought to be a pretty cool setup. i just sold my 91 sho + not too long ago. i LOVED that car, but i couldn't pass up the money the guy was offering me for it... plus it led me back into my truly favorite car, the turbocoupe.

good luck with the swap.

Resurrecting this old thread, found it from some other forums as I am working on a SHO swap in another vehicle too. So did you ever finish it?

Nope.

There is a guy local to me that has a 67?f100 with a SHO motor in it, fuel injected. I can't get him to take pictures of it, it is even converted to rear wheel drive.

Not really a "swap", but very cool none the less...
