StarSHO Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Hello, I am happy to be part of the SQ club. I have an 88 Starion. I have been dreaming about having a Starion for many years, and the project is coming true. The plan, a very big plan is to swap in a 3.0L SHO engine. I did read about one other member starting a SHO engine swap, but i didnt see the finished product. Will i be the first. Scary, but exciting also....Thanks, Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarSHO Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the support, I just want to try something differnent(Other than the 2jz)hahaha. I have contimplated about getting it back to stock engine. I just need give this swap a chance. I know the SHO engine very well. The battle with most likely be the oil pan...

DSMracespeed Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Good luck with the swap...I know the Taurus SHO was actually faster than the Mustangs from the same production year,but I prefer turbos!You can find the ketchup chips anywhere usually made by Old Dutch.Sometimes a relative will bring some down when they visit.
