Well made it back in one piece. Had an awesome weekend. Since it was my first time at a major show, I was so impressed. So down to the news, talk with a FORD Marketing person, about the Taurus redesign. He hasn't seen anything come down the pipe, he also mentioned that since the redo of the Mustang, F150 and the Edge coming for '15, the Taurus will probably be a '16 redo. I questioned him about the SHO line, couldn't really say yes or no yet, so guess we will have to wait and see. The SHO they had there was the Darkside color, not one on my favorite. Did get to see the 2 of the 2.7 motors, they had the normal show one and the torture test motor. The 2.7 EB is block is made from the same material as the Powerstroke motors. The 2.7 EB motor a canister style oil filter, and a gear driven DI pump, I asked cause I didn't see one in the location as on the 3.5 EB. Couldn't get any Hp/Trq numbers, oh well. Learn something new about the 3.5 EB motors, they are sleeved, but the sleeve doesn't go all the way up the cylinder, there is lip at the top so the heads and block mate to the same surface. Did see alot of engines going to canister type oil filters. The new F150 looks awesome in person, cant say that about the Mustang, but that's my opinion. Will get pics up, I need to resize them to post them. Wish I had better news about the Taurus and SHO.
