What engine does the 93 Taurus SHO have?

[CamelToe]

My friend just bought a 93 Taurus SHO with a 5-speed, but we're not really sure which engine it has, (3.0 or 3.2) I think they offered both that year but I'm not sure. It doesn't say on the engine block, and there is no sticker in the door jam. Anyone know?

I'm inclined to say it's got the 3.2 if it's a 5 spd.---I think the 3.0 was used for the automatic....

Its based off the 3.0 Liter Yamaha engine

So do you guys think it's a 3.2? I'm still not sure😕

5-Speed was 3.0 L(182 C.I.)DOHC with the heads/valves done by Yamaha.

1993 was the first year an Automatic was available.

SHO is a very fast taurus... there was one point where it had more power than the mustang, or something like that

Working for ford i should be able to answer this... SHO stands for Super High Output and the 93 uses a 3.3L engine i believe...the more current ones went upto 4.0 and 4.6

Working for Ford, you'd know that the engine in the lastest SHO's was a 3.4L V8 (1996+). The 1989 to 1995 models had either a 3.0L or 3.2L V6 depending on the transmission. 3.0 for mtx, 3.2 for atx when they became avaliable.

The 3.0L in the manual trannies had a 3.5&quot; bore, 200lb-ft @ 4800 RPM, 220HP @ 6200RPM. The 3.2L in the auto trannies had a 3.62&quot; bore, 215lb-ft @ 4000 RPM, 220HP @ 6000RPM.

Does anyone else call them &quot;big SHOs&quot; or is that just me and my buddies?

Thanks for the info guys. I took his SHO for a ride this afternoon, it really is quick. I noticed that in 4th gear at 35mph it still felt really punchy even at such a low speed. I don't think this would compare to a Mustang from that same year though but it's definitely fast.

93 SHO does 0-60 in 7.5, 1/4 in 17. 91 GT (only year I can find stats for that body style) does 0-60 in 7.3, 1/4 in 15.6. It'd be close down low, around that speed you were messing around at, but the Mustang would pull away at higher speeds.

Go to this link.

Click on &quot;more info&quot; and then &quot;Engines, Transmissions and Fuel Economy.&quot;

PS. Its the 3.0L with 220 hp. Not bad.

I'd trust this page more than Carpoint. Carpoint doesn't even mention the 3.2...

 

[N8Magic]

My mistake. I stand corrected.

Carpoint is generally pretty good for figures though!
