If you have to ask something like that its probably not wise to to attempt this project.....

1. Yup same blower,only differance is the Lightning blower is a top inlet and the Cobra blower is a axle (from the back) inlet.

2. Got no idea,I have only ever seen them custom made.

3. 99.9% sure it you put it on top. If you made a box with a tube runing to your current intake and mounted the blower lower,then it would probably work.

4. Dunno,why would want to keep EGR for one thing?

5. Stock on the Lightning its supposed to be 10psi,I dunno what the Cobra is.

Sell it and buy a blower that fits your car.

I doubt its going to be simple enough to justify using it. Your looking at a ton of work here.

just do a turbo. i acutally looked into this and its probably less work to do a turbo just because of all the info that can be found on turbomustangs.com.

Oh,one other thing I forgot to mention...

The bolt pattern on the Lightnings blowers changed at a certain year,I think it was 01' but not sure.

I know though I cant bolt on a blower from say, an 03' Lightning to my 99'.

And to answer your post. WHY NOT do the blower? It would be more unique,plus whens the last time you heard a fox with that special roots blower wine?

Also,look into porting the blower case,if your decent with a die grinder get a porting kit and go take a look for some pics on the net how to do it. I have heard that its worth about 20-30hp on our trucks.

Oh,and your only gunna get about $300 for the blower.

IMO if your gonna go through all that work do a turbo. theres alot more info out there and its easy to look up what works and what doesn't

its still alot of fabricating either way. i may be biased though
