SHO Ranger

[P. A. Schilke]

Hi Folks,

Here is a blast from the past. We stuffed a Taurus SHO motor in a Ranger. I put one of my SCCA racetruck suspensions under the truck. Engine Engineering disabled the rev limiter giving 10,000 rpm under my foot. Could dust off any Vette on the street in first gear! Great fun, and sports car handling.

Best,

Thanks Phil! It likely spawned my '88 STX. It came with frt and rear stabilizer bars re-tuned suspension (payload capacity was less than standard) limited slip rear and cloth bucket seats. Handled well too, I traded an '86 RX-7 for it, handling wasn't in that class but extremely good.
