Supercharger fitment question

Hi, I am new to the forum, and have a question regarding Vortech superchargers. I have a 95 5.0 which is fairly modded. I have an opportunity to buy a used Vortech S trim kit for a 1998 at a very good price. It comes complete with aftercooler. My question is, how much would I need to replace in order to make this kit work for my car? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I bought one for a 92 used and it was going to cost me about 1,000 to get the stuff threw vortech. Maybe they were lying to me.

Also that one may be different. I just remember the problems i had when i didn't get the right year one. I ended up trading it for h/c/i set up.

don't do it. i'm pretty sure not a damn thing will work from that kit. its for a completely different engine, so none of the brackets or piping will work. the aftercooler is going to be a paper weight as you can't duct the thing into the system. and i think its a reverse blow design meaning that it spins the opposite direction.

do not even give this consideration. repeat do not do it. you'll just be wasting your money.

get a kit for a 94-95 and be done with it. or you can get a 87-93 kit and switch to a fox throttle body and then buy the proper brackets. by the time you get the fox kit to mount up, you'll probably spend more than just buying a 94-95 kit.
