So this weekend I did a thing, and brought home the elusive "Doug Lewis Swap". A 2003 Ford Taurus (originally a Flex Fuel Vulcan SES) that was professionally swapped with a 3.4L SHO V8, among a bunch of other goodies.
Engine: 3.4L 32V DOHC SHO V8 - Cams Welded - Engine Mileage: 60,000
Transmission: Built AX4N Automatic - Transmission Mileage: 32,000
Brakes: Ceramic Pads & Rotors Gen 4 Front Disc - SHO V8 Rear Disc Conversion
Wheels/Tires: 16" Gen 3 SHO Painties & Uniroyal Tigerpaw Touring 225/55/16
Tune: SCT X-Calibrator-2 87/89/91 Octane Tune
Body Mileage: 195,000
Exterior Color: Dark Shadow Grey Metallic
Interior Color: Gray Cloth (6 Passenger Column Shift)
The drivetrain swap was professionally done at Ford Performance Specialists in Georgia in 2007. The total price before tax on the invoice was just a hair under $12,000. The transmission was built by AAMCO in 2012 and new ball joints, motor mounts, cv joints, etc, were done at the same time, the invoice on that was $4,500. A tune up was performed a couple years ago to the tune of $1200. The guy who had it built (his name is Jamie) is a mutal friend of my father's coworker, so we were able to talk to him before I bought it and ask him a bunch of questions about the car.
