I have a 96 4.6 Saleen and want to know if a 99-04 Vortech supercharger will fit? If not, what do I need in order to make it bolt up? Any help will be appreciated.
I know I'll need this bracket, but what else do I need to change out from the kit?

http://www.superchargersonline.com/product_detail.asp?PartNumber=V4FH011-041

Also, will a PI intake work on the SVO heads with the supercharger at about 8 PSI? The ports don't exactly match up.

Thanks

I don't think all the components will work from that. 96-98 coil packs. 99-04 coil on plug. and different fuel system.

if you call Vortech I am sure their tech guys can give you a list of all part numbers to make it work , that would be the easiest way to figure out what you need

The bracket will be different too.....the timing cover is totally different so the bracket will be different that bolts to it.

Thanks for the info. I contacted Vortech and it looks like I'm better off not getting the 99-04 supercharger. Sucks because I had a good deal going. Anyay, I've just decided to suck it up and get the Kenne Bell intercooled it. If you're going to do it....do it right.

From Kenne Bell:
"Sorry we don't carry the '96-'98 Mustang Gt kit anymore. It was discontinued about 3 months ago due to problems with the manifold."

Thought he stated he had SVO heads (which are actually closer to the port configuration of the Non-PI heads? In which case, the ports are different altogether. He could buy himself a set of PI gaskets and lay the across the ports to see if they seal up though....this would be the most inexpensive way of finding out.

I took it he was just asking if his PI intake would fit on SVO heads if he was to buy them. His sig says he has PI intake and Heads!
