[Shotimes] Possible project car? / Rear Wheel Drive

[Ron Porter]

Lay off the any more beer this afternoon!!

Let's see....you now have a RWD Taurus with a Mustang drivetrain that (1)
weighs more than a Mustang, and (2) will be slower. You have also spent
$15-20K (assuming you did all of your own work) on a car that is worth maybe
$2-3K.

And, it's definitely no longer a SHO. I had this wild idea about 10 years
ago using a SHO motor, but I came to my senses!!

Want a nice RWD manual-tranny performance car? By a used G35 or 3--5-series
BMW!!

The Gen 1-2 body was a very nice platform....in it's day.

IMHO the BEST way to mod a SHO, which I have been telling people for a
number of years, and John Hrinsin actually spent big $$$ to do, is a
slightly bigger SHO V6 with higher compression and other efficiency mods,
and leave it n/a. You can get 300+ HP, and still have a SHO that has
retained it's "SHO-ness".

I know this has been discussed in the past, but lately
I've been thinking about it again. After watching 
Boyd and his band of Gypsys on American HotRod, I see
that just about anything is possible.
My thoughts were to run the 95 SHO MTX till the wheels

fall off, like many have done on this list and then
when the "shell" is worth virtually nothing anyway,
gut it and rotiserre it. Drop in a Mustang V8, 5 speed
tranny and an LS rear end and suspension.
Maybe a front clip from an LS would be easiest.
Any thoughts. I have my Flame Suit on.
