I absolutely love a car mod video like this. Its truly unique. Building a car that has little to no aftermarket support is great. Please keep it up
That shit clean as hell 🔥🔥 that blank rim with the tire lettering look nice
It turned out better than I thought. Thank you. 👍
Nowadays it seems the aftermarket sector for these cars is a bit better I see why I see alot of these Tauruses running around now
I just got my 2002 Taurus. It was originally a government vehicle and I ended up getting from the guy who bought it from them. He only put 2000 miles on it in 3 years and in total, there are 59k miles on it. Got it for 3k. I was very excited to see what I could do to it but there wasn't much support from what I saw. This is a great video. Gave me a lot of ideas I could do for my own vehicle. Thank you sir!
BROOOO!!!! This is LITERALLY almost the exact same deal I got my ‘01 taurus!!.. Was originally owned by a local (Govt. ran) Library.. Bought it from my uncle who bought it from the library .. Put about 1500 on it himself… Only 66k miles.. Only paid 2200… I thought timelines weren’t spossed to intersect… 😂😂😂
Both V6 engines are great. I've had both. The OHV responds well to mods, and can make plenty of power, and lots of torque. The Dohc pulls nicely at higher revs, and still has good low RPM torque
The car looks, sick man! I want to do something like that to my 2003 Taurus now.
Love the sound of the exhaust 10/10
Sounds sweet. I have a '02 DOHC 3.0 Duratec Taurus that I'm currently replacing old parts on. New CV axels, sway bar bushings, sway bar linkages, outer tie rods, I'm not changing the inner tie rods because I need to change out the rack and pinion at some point. I have to replace the AC compressor another time too. I'll use window air conditioning until I fix that. I'm going to repaint my disc brake calipers and drum brakes red. I have installed new headlights, and I have a front nose cover (bra) that I haven't installed yet. I will install a rear spoiler another time.
Bro this is EXACTLY what im trying to do to my Taurus.. literally this is what i had in mind because i got the gold 04 model
I got the 05 wagon ..id love to put the best shocks and struts on for the highest possible lift ...id like to put bigger tires on it possibly after proper shocks and struts..like a truck or baja car
I have a 2001 Taurus I want to get coil overs and 20inch rims and paint it
P225/35R-20 tires will work on a Taurus with coil overs without rubbing if you get the proper backspacing on the wheels. Have a friend with that setup on his 2005 Mercury Sable. (Same car with different badging.)
Looks good. Thank you for sharing. I own a 2002 Ford Taurus SE. I upgraded most of my lights to LEDs. All except for brake lights, only because I simply upgraded to a brighter incandescent bulb and it's really bright like LED so I won't change that. Car sounds good to like it is ready for racing.
Nice I put led headlights and led switchbacks on the park lights
I have a 2002 Taurus and I'm really interested to know where and what size cam you put in your car. Also any and all engine mods you have done so far. Great video thanks for posting it.
The engine was rebuilt with a stroker kit and stage 1 cam I bought from Morana V6 Racing out of Canada I had a stage 3 cam at first but swapped it out for the milder one because it was too big for street use. My goal is to supercharge it next with an Eaton M90 blower by years and. Here is the link to Morana. Glad you enjoyed my video.

@@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023 04 model here, over 250k and still going....just curious, what'd that engine rebuild cost, I'm thinking about it too.
It is quite high. Over $2500 and I did most of the work. If the engine is solid and doesn't have any issues like low compression, oil burning, or knocks/ticking I'd freshen the engine up with a new oil pump, timing chain, fuel pump, and new head gaskets. Then I'd install high lift roller rocker arm's a better intake manifold and cat back exhaust. You would be in the 200+ up range. A 50+ hp boost in power.
@@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023 ok thanks a lot for those tips bro!!
Hey man im curious, if an engine rebuild is 2500~, would it be better to just buy a new motor and do mods on it before installing? They have performance Vulcans out now with cams already installed, mainly for use on the new Amazon and UPS Fleet trucks using compressed LPG or almost pure Ethanol. My main issue woukd be the ECU and its programming to attempt this.
Nice vid bro...cool whip i got one, an 01..bulletproof Vulcan 3.0,v6 just over 100k...i got one idea for you, raise that back end so that it sits jest a lillll bit higher than the front, like if you get two fingers in the front gap you shoule be able to get 3 in the back gap ...lol just try it with a jack..and see how it looks...i was just about to sell mine til i seen this vid...i subed so .looking forward to progress..
Thank you. More to come. For a matter of fact I just installed my fog lights to go with the driving lights I installed a few weeks ago. The video will be up in a few.
I’m not a car guy like that but now after watching this makes me want to customize my Ford 2000 Taurus 😈
I own a Ford Probe GT (2.5l V6) but I always liked the 3rd Taurus/Sable. I'd happily pick up a '99 Sable GL.
love this vid I own a 2000 merc sabe ls 108000 on it. 24 valve
where’d you get the mudflaps man! clean build btw 2000 wagon here
They are universal ones I bought off of Amazon.
I have the 03 Taurus SEL. Do you have any suggestions for stiffening up and/or raising the suspension? I mostly use it for work, and I put my tools in the trunk. Theres not alot of tools, but they're heavy (Ironworker tools). She can take it. I replaced the rotted rear sway bar links and that helped the handling but the car sags and I lose alot of efficiency. If I could raise the whole car about 1inch in the front and 2 inches in the back I believe that would help alot. Im trying to avoid all new coilovers.
I would like to give mine a little lift as well. I tow a utility trailer and sometimes my mates and i go for a ride. It would be nice to have a little extra space down under lol
Love that vid man really helps
Any time. More content to come.
I have an '02 Cougar that has fog lights that would fit really well in the slots in the Taurus bumper. I wanted to try it, but I don't want to harvest parts off a car that I want to restore, so I have no idea where to get them.
Heck yeah broo!!! What’s kind of rims are those??
They are gloss black DRW rims. 17"×7" in the front and 18"×8" in the back.
Nice looking Taurus
Damn Bro ias hella surprised when u starter her up! Filthy! Fkr just sounds straight mean, I love(d) it. I just got a 2002 Ford Taurus SE from a good buddy of mine and I know he took super good care of it for the past decade so that's nice. I wanna customize it but don't have a ton of money and not looking to race it. Although I'm definitely not opposed to giving it a little more juice and sound. Have you put anything into the sound system on yours? Im thinking a 7" screen and 2 quality 10" subs in the trunk. I think that'll be plenty of slappin. What do you think? Enjoyed the video btw. New sub right here 🖐
I had a 12", 15", and two 8"s in mine lmao😈🤣
I have a 96 Ford Taurus with chrome 18s.
What kind of auxiliary headlights did you get?
Did I hear you say you supercharged it? You recommend that over turbo? Just curious and what’s the HP output?
I am going with supercharging because it takes up less room, requires less modification, to make it work, and less tuning. 270 to 290 whp is a good number for that applicatuon. You can get more with a turbo setup but it would be more of a race application and more expensive. Building an engine with forged internals to handle the boost alone is why out of my budget for a car like a Taurus. This is a project for a street legal and affordable car that can be driven as a daily driver with the occasional trip down the quarter or eighth mile strip for fun on the weekend.
@Joseph Did not supercharge it yet. The transmission let go and I had to get a second car so I can save up some $$$ to fix it. It is going in the shop before the summer is out. I bought a used Eaton M90 from a Pontiac Grand Prix GXP through Offer Up for $200. It needs to be rebuilt so I am going to get that soon soon. To install it you will need to by a custom intake which Tom Morana V6 Racing makes for front wheel drive and rear wheel drive setups.
@Joseph The good news is that I found a performance rebuild kit with heavy duty clutches, friction plates, and shift improver kit. It was a little expensive but it can handle up to 400 ft/lbs of torque. The trans shop I picked to rebuild it is on a half shift do to Covid so it will take a while to get to me. There are people ahead of me.
@@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023 Did you ever put the turbo on? How'd the car handle it?
@@Justm3180The car was totaled before I was able to get any boost done to it.
I know you did engine upgrades. But were you able to do anything with the tranny so support the power? Just asking because i have a 07 taurus and at higher speeds the motor will rev up but car doesnt move as fast until tranny shifts again then it will go a little faster but not much.
Hey Ragin’ I have an 06 Vulcan bull with the hard 1-2 shift. It only does it when the trans is warm. My thermostat is stuck open right now but i don’t think this has anything to do with the 1-2 shift.
It’s done this for months and months, before i got the car. Ive read VSS is more than likely the culprit any help would be greatly appreciated.
What rating was the muffler?
The Flow Pack is a one chamber muffler like a Flowmaster Super 10 so they sound similar.
Ya, I'm going to buy my mom's 2006 Taurus. I already own a 2016 Sho. Mom's car is easy to work on.. but all the plastic parts brake crack so... 2 owner under 80k what do you think is a fair price?
$2500 is a good price. Especially if it needs work.
how do i get my taillights like thwt
How are you keeping the transmission alive
Bought a heavy duty rebuild kit and 2200 stall torque converter for the car. That will be next and then supercharging the engine.
Can you elaborate on what you're doing to supercharge the car? looks Great - I'm lookin at snapping an '01 Wagon
I no longer have the car. It was totaled last year by a guy who ran a stop sign. I am building another soon.
@ForestVikingTV I no longer have this car. It was totaled by an uninsured driver. I am building a new one though. A 1994.
What engine is in the car
The car sits that low when the struts go bad on them cars in the back
me like the sound brah!!
What typa.front bumper style does he have I got ford Taurus 2002 tryna put similar bumper to it
It is a stock 2007 bumper for the Ford Taurus. Any Taurus from 2000 to 2007 can interchange their bumpers and front fenders. So changing the look to a newer model it's no problem with these cars and this particular generation.
And u can only use ford brand ? Bumpers and I’m looking for like more square shape what style would that be
I have a 2004 Police Special Duratec with 38 000 miles and the first thing I did was re tint the windows! Where's the tint

Thanx bro
How are you supercharging it and what motor do you have?
I have the 3.0L Vulcan V6 in the car. It was stroked to 3.3L using a stroker kit I bought from Tom Morana V6 Racing out of Canada. They sell a supercharger adapter kit where you can use the Eaton M90 Supercharger from the Thunderbird SC on the Vulcan. You will have to fabricate the throttle linkage and pulley adapters though.
@@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023 I appreciate the info! I've looked all over for info and have come up basically nothing on forums. Much appreciated! I'm a welder so having to fab stuff isn't an issue. How did you go about beefing up the trans as well as how are you going to tune everything?
@@williamgerow811 You have to buy an aftermarket rebuild kit and torque converter for the trans. I already bought them. I just have to put the car in the shop later to do the work. I have some unboxing videos of the parts on this channel. They are rated at 350 ft/lbs of torque. More than adequate for what I need.
Got DAMN that cold start.
Yooo I highkey need that lift, sable is too low I feel
Do they sell coil overs for 03 Taurus Nd if so is it a good option to get when putting two 15 in the back ??
They sell coil overs on eBay. The quality of some brands are suspect so do your research.
Where can I find those lights?
Which ones?
@@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023 tailights
@@swayzz3775 They are no longer available for sale online unfortunately.
Are those stock or Where did you get the bumpers etc i own a 2001 and am looking
On Amazon.
thank you so much
I have a 2000 lx I really want to do a sho swap on
The '96 to '07 has the same underpinnings. You can swap in the SHO drivetrain with little to no modifications if you use parts from the SHO you took the engine from.
That thing chops... What engine mods ?
Morana Racing striker kit and stage 1 cam.
What cam is in it?
A Tom Morana Stage 1 camshaft from Tom Morana V6 Racing out of Canada.
How much horsepower did you gain with the new exhaust system
Don't expect much on a stock car. Maybe 15 to 18 hp tops. With engine, ignition, and fuel mods with a tune you can get more.
@@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023 what’s the name of the exhaust bro
@@swayzz3775 The exhaust is custom-made 2.25" by a muffler shop in my area. I replaced the resonator with a Jones Flowpack muffler ($35). They sell them on Amazon in different sizes from 2" to 3" diameter piping. I deleted the factory muffler in the back and replaced it with dual tailpipes. The Flowpack Muffler is in the place where the resonator used to be.
Are you going to convert to 5 speed manual out of an earlier model Taurus
No. The 5-speed can not handle the torque and horsepower I plan to put in the car. I did buy a rebuilt kit and high stall torque convertor for the stock auto that can. Will be rebuilding soon.
@@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023 can't handle the hp/torque ? Ask the blue turd that question lol .....the trans you have in your 4th gen I wouldn't trust to handle 250 whp
@@enjoythesho1992 I no longer have this Taurus. It was totaled by an uninsured driver last year. I just bought a second gen Taurus with a 3.8L a few weeks ago. Will be starting on that car soon.
@@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023 That would be awesome I grew up in a 89 Taurus with the 3.8 with a console shifter I remember the car had tons of bottom end torque you could stomp it from a dig and it would light the tires up for a good 30 feet that car was a factory freak for a regular Taurus of course it was no match for a SHO but way stronger than a 3.0 Vulcan Taurus
Do you think the first one would fit a 2006?
Yes.
@@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023 thank you. I may try to convince my parents to let me put one on
what do you suggest i do for a white 2007 taurus?
What is your goals?
Vulcan Taurus Performance look better
@@KKHighlights Upgrade the wheels and tires. Don't go over 18" tops. Anything larger would just starting look stupid. I would lower it also with some lowering springs. 1 inch of lowering makes a big difference in the overall look and a handling of the car. If your car doesn't have a spoiler in the back get a rear spoiler but make sure it's the factory one. An after-market one will like cheap. A better exhaust system is also a must. I like the dual tailpipes in the back like the old SHOs plus it sounds better when you have the sound coming out of both sides in the back. For the engine I will put in a K&N air filter and maybe some roller rockers from Tom Morana Racing, and a tune. That should knock your horsepower up about 40 and you'll feel it in the seat of your pants when you drive.
Vulcan Taurus Performance how do you know what kind of wheels to get? like the number? and my car is really low and it scrapes everytime i pull up in the driveway, so idk if i want to lower it more
@@KKHighlights I'd go with an 18"×8" rim with a +40mm offset, and 5x108 bolt pattern. For the tires use a P225-45ZR18. They will look good, won't rub, and it won't throw you speedometer reading off. When you order your rims make sure to get some centric rings to put on your hubs in order to prevent vibrations. They have plastic rings and aluminum. Get the aluminum ones. If you still have the stock suspension I recommend you swap them out with new struts and springs just stock replacements. Your car will drive a lot better. Especially since the car is a couple years old now.
What engine u running atm sins your going to supercharger it do like a lightning and have a 5.4 supercharger
It is a cammed and stroked Vulcan V6. It is now 3.3L instead of a 3.0L. I will be using the Eaton M60 supercharger off of a Thunderbird Super Coupe. My car makes 220 horsepower. With the supercharger I should hit 300+.
@@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023 cant wait to see your complete. I want to mod my duratec sable wagon but it seems that it would be easier to do an engine swap. I love sleepers! What do you suggest?
@@jimmyjohnson7883 A SHO engine swap is straight simple bolt in.
What do you mean by saying the car drones?
At around 2000 to 2500rpm a low booming sound echoes through the inside of the car that comes from the exhaust. That is a problem with a lot of performance exhaust systems.
@@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023 ok thank you
Where can i get coilovers for my 99 Taurus?
SHOSource was the only place that sold coilovers for the '99 Taurus and SHO til this year. They are discontinued but they do sell lowering springs. That is it. Sorry that I couldn't help more.
shosource.com/
You have to make your own aftermarket parts.
Not really. Under the body the '97 to '07 are almost identical when it comes to drivetrain and suspension. I used performance suspension parts for the '97 SHO. No mods needed. You can even swap the SHO V8 into a 2000-2007 Taurus as a straight bolt in and there are some people that did the swap. Stuff like exhaust will have to be fabricated because there is little aftermarket support for the forth gen outside of some cosmetic parts.

Where can I get a cold air intake for my 05 taurus ?
Unfortunately there is no cold air intake for the 2000-07 Taurus. Just a K&N drop in filter which I got on mine.
Will it increase performance or ? Bc I have a Ford Taurus 05 rn and I’m planning on modifying it with a muffler delete that Mach 1 lip you said in the video and some new rims
@@urstank980 With just a K&N filter you will see about a 3 horsepower gain. With a free flowing exhaust expect 2 or three horsepower more. The real gain is in gas mileage. When the car breath better gas mileage will go up. Before I rebuilt the engine it went from 27 mpg at 65 mph to 32 mpg. I wouldn't go with a muffler delete unless you keep the resonator on it. It will drone like crazy on the highway. Chop off the muffler and keep the resonator on it or replace the resonator with a bullet style muffler like a cherry bomb, M-80, or a Dynomax Bullet.
Ightt thanks bro helps a lot 💯

Please update
Final part needed to upgrade the transmission should be here any day now. When the trans is rebuilt I will start on boosting the engine.
You need to take the back disc brakes off of a car like that and put it on your car.
Thank you for your response. I no longer have this car. It was totaled by an uninsured driver. But I did buy an early 90s Taurus what a standard and a 3.8 L V6. I'm going to start working on it very soon after I finish working on my latest project.
@@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023 somebody ran into the back of my Taurus and I had to put my car in a frame pulling machine and everything. I got her line back out but I still have to replace the back quarter panels. With unibody construction.
