lightning supercharger

silvergt00 said:

Is there anyway to put a lightning/harleydavidson supercharger on a 4.6 liter mustang gt. I can buy a supercharger for about $1000 on ebay and I want to put it on my mustang. The intake manifolds won't match because the lightning engine is a 5.4. IS there an intake manifold that I can buy for my car. Will it even work because it isn't DOHC. Thanks guys... My stang would be nasty with this supercharger on it.

NO it wont work , and even if you made it work , its not worth the time , effort or added $$ it would take to make it work . just do searches on vortech , paxton , allen , KB (kenne bell) to find more info on this .

if you are new to this just let us know we (us blown mustang guys) we will be glad to give you our .02 cents

Don't bother - It's too much work and would require you to cut a L intake and have it welded. By the time you are done you can have a 9lb KB kit designed for your car - and then some.

I think you might be able to use 2003 cobra parts (it uses a simular Eaton M112), lower intake manifold, intercooler, injectors, etc... I think you will have a problem with the lightning blower where it's intake is on top, while the cobra's is on the back to allow clearance...

I'm gonna go ahead and say no. Do I have technical reasons for you beyond, that the Lighting SC is suppose to fit a 5.4 engine? No.

Ya you can make it work if you got a custom adaptor plate to port mach your heads. All modular parts can mix and mach but the port holes just are not the same. Look at me I have SVO heads with a PI Intake thats what I mean by mix and mach. You can even take a 5.4 motor and put your PI Heads on top if you get a custom adaptor to port mach every think. See if geting a KB will come out cheaper like maybe there 6psi kit.
