Supercharger from thunderbird-cougar to 5.0 mustang?

1Stunna101 · 08-16-2005, 09:01 PM

What do I need to do to put a supercharger from a thunderbird or Cougar onto my 5.0 liter mustang? how much of a horsepower gain?? What parts do I need to get, is it easy.

pal, good luck with that...

if possible, it'll be real expensive...

plan on new pistons, rod, cam, and the works for that...

not worth it.

It doesn't move enough air to make it worth using even if it was an easy swap. You'd be far, far ahead in money, ease of installation and power if you bought a Vortech.
