How Many Of You Are There?

cbecklex · 08-02-2006, 08:44 AM

Just wondering how many people have a bull that are on this forum and are in Saint John and surrounding area. Seeing that there is a Taurus for every 5th car that drives by

I figure there should be a few. Also wondering if there is any one who is or nows a good machinest or can do an engine swap and not necessarily the same 3.0l Vulcan. I was thinking of mabey buying an 88 5.0 mustang. how hard would it be to retro fit it to the taurus. I know a custom drive shaft will cost only about $250. With an 88 there is no FI which makes life much easier and the performance parts would be very acessable. Any Ideas with the amount of labour needed to do this?

Thanks

There is a GIII with a 4.6L Lincoln Continental engine in it. The 4.6 DOHC is MUCH larger than the 302 (5.0L), so it will physically fit. Figuring out how to make it transverse mounted, or how to make the Taurus RWD is another thing altogether...
