Festiva's move to new home!

[MONSOON]

I hate you!



J/K
Driveway and garage look good with all those Festiavs filling them up! Neighbors probably dont know what to make of it either.

If you want a decent tranny for the shogun try out shosource on the web, they sell rebuilt sho auto and modified torque converters, and just about anything else ( bolt on ) for sho engines. They can also sell you a plug in module ( LPM) for the computer to adjust wide open shift points and other engine mods.

rcm sell all the SHO internal engine guts and gaskets....

and for all the sho info you could ever want join the Sho Forum...

I would leave your shogun an auto, the work to change it to a manual would require you changing the subframe and creating a bunch of crazy linkage.

The only weak spot of the SO engine is its rod bearings, guys change these things out at 60,000 miles just to be safe.

The other maintenace is check valve to cam clearance, it adjusted using replaceable shims. When changing the timing belt also swap out the water pump and crank position sensor, the water pump will leak onto the sensor killing it. ( it easyier while you have the front of the engine apart).

Just about any of the places listed above will rent you the special ford tools to do the valve clearance check with a selection of extra shims to adjust the clearance.



P.S. Whem we gonna see a write up on the car????

i just gotp back from the jy and seen a full taurus sho just sittin there!! It had not been touched, everything is all there tranny and all......hhhmmmmm

I have yet to see a SHO in the JY with the engine/tranny still left in it. seen plenty of bodies though. Still not sure If I'm going to convert it over to manual or not. All the work is already done and it would be so easy to just plop another auto in there if the tranny is messed up.
