I've got a 96 GT with over 86,000 miles. I want to supercharge later. Should I headswap this motor or save up and buy a used 99+ GT motor?

Where could I find one for fairly cheap?

Thanks,
Bradley

Try to grab a mach 1 motor or a cobra motor. You'll spend about the same as you would on getting a new 99+ SOHC and it will make more power with the same amount of boost as the SOHC. If you stay N/A for awhile, you'll still have more power. Oh yeah, they have forged cranks, too.
