    Ok so I just got my first car (a 70 maverick) and it only has four lug wheels . And I realized "hey I have a taurus in the back yard!" So what my question is what kind of rear end does a 93 taurus have? And wil it bolt into my maverick without modifications? Thanks

    A Taurus would be FWD.

    So it doesn't have a rear end. And if they do its just a dummy one, which you cant use with a RWD car like a maverick.

    The taurus is front wheel drive, don't think it will help you and it is 5 lug

    I hope its a SHO, if it is give me a price on the engine :D

    If its the 3.8L V6 you can use the alternator on the maverick, the electric fan will also work.

    There's probably a bunch of parts that will still swap over with a little work.
    Such as the window regulators, hood/trunk struts.
