    357w: would you do it again??

    I'm leaning toward doing a 351w swap over a 347. Was considering going all out to a 408, but talked to a few people that said for a more street friendly car they probably would have done a 347 or 357w. I want to see if anyone else has experience on this. Did you build a short block and then...

    PD/roots style blower for Foxbody??

    Haven't been on here for a long while since I parked my 93 GT, sold the termi and got a 2013 5.0 for my daily. I really miss driving my 93 GT around and hope in the next few months I can start restoring her. In the past was debating the 331 vs 351w, or coyote vs terminator swap. Was leaning...

    Edelbrock Or Vmp Supercharger? Help Me Pick

    I plan to restore my 93 GT one day but been focusing on my 2013 GT. After researching CAI's, intake manifolds, throttle bodies, etc I came across a lot of people skipping these mods and going right to a supercharger. Makes sense considering you won't use a boss intake with a PD supercharger...

    I bought a Paxton SL basic kit for my 1993 Mustang GT probably over a year ago, its still sitting in the box waiting to be installed. My question is, was looking at buying a 2001 Saleen. Is it possible to use that supercharger on the 4.6 engine? What needs to be done? How much would it cost?

    So, ive tried three different clutch cables and all have failed. First one was a Kragens auto parts one that actually seemed to be the best so far but lasted only a few days.

    Can I bolt this to a 351w

    Can I bolt up a paxton sl 1220 kit for my 93 Gt to a 351w?? I was going to build a 331 but think I might go with a 351w. I already have the supercharger and figured someone has probably done this before. Is there a swap bracket for this? IF not, there should be lol. Any ideas?
