This car has had a lot of work done to it.  When I bought the car it suffered the fate of most of the third gen SHO.  It had spun the cam gear and bent the valves.  When I purchased it I welded the cams and had the entire top end rebuilt.  It has all new valves, valve guides, valves seals, headgaskets, headbolts, intake gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets, valve cover gaskets, thermostat, oil pressure sending unit and serpentine belt.  Within the last six months I have replaced all four tires, brakes front and back, the mass airflow sensor and the idle air control valve.  I have had the cats hollowed out so the check engine light is on.  I do have six extra coils for the car.  The ones that are on it have been shorting out.  I have been replacing them as they short.    It has aftermarket 17" wheels.  It has the original 5 disk cd changer.  The person I bought it from had wedged cds inside and I never used it so I don't know if it works.  The exterior is average for this old of a car.  There are quite a few small scratches.  There are a few spots of clear coat peeling and a few door dings.  The interior is fairly nice the only issues are a crack in the driver seat and a cut in the passenger rear seat.  The interior is all leather.  There are some stains on the carpet that I never tried to get out.  It has a working sunroof.  The dashpad is also pulling up like all of the taurus dashes did.  It is not perfect but it is not completely destroyed either.  I have over $3500 in rebuilding the motor and putting brakes and tires on this car.  It is rare to find one running.  If you have any questions please message me.  It is for sale locally also.  If you are near Topeka, KS we can arrange a time for you to look at it.  Buyer will have to arrange for shipping.  It drives fine but will try to stall as the coils short.  I just don't have the time to replace them.

TRANSLOGIC 147: CES 2014 Autonomous Vehicles

Wed, Jan 15 2014

We head back to CES in Las Vegas to check on the progress of autonomous vehicles in 2014. We go hands-free on the highway with Audi, narrowly avoid a collision with Ford and hear all about BMW's drifting driverless car. But first we take a ride on Induct's self-driving Navia shuttle.

Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?

Tue, 26 Aug 2014



Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.

Ford builds two-millionth EcoBoost engine

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Ford's EcoBoost engine lineup is only four years old, but it is growing into an important and popular global engine. As proof of its popularity, Ford just produced its 2 millionth EcoBoost engine - a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder - which rolled off the assembly line in Louisville, Kentucky under the hood of an Escape.
Ford now offers five EcoBoost engines around the world ranging from the 1.0-liter inline-three to the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, and the automaker is expanding production of two of its engine lines to keep up with demand. Earlier this year, Ford announced that the 2.0-liter EcoBoost would be built in Cleveland, Ohio starting in 2014 and, more recently, Ford said that it will be doubling production of the 1.0-liter EcoBoost in Germany. That turbo-three will also be produced in China at a new Ford engine plant in Chongqing.
Scroll down for Ford's full press release on this EcoBoost production milestone, including a breakdown of where all the engines were made.
