Superchargerd????

[djsstang50]

Hello everyone! First I was to say I have a 91 Hatch with a 5.0 H.O.. I have a chance to get a eaton m90 supercharger which the superchargers came off a t-bird supercoupe. It is the root style charger that sits on top of the motor. People tell me that you can take and put it on a 5.0. Is this true? If so what do I need to do to make this supercharger work? Im not sure if I have to change my intake manifold or what?? Please someone HELP me!!

Your problem will be finding a lower intake manifold that fits both the Eaton Supercharger --AND-- a 302. You might be able to find one from an older Lightning or Saleen depending on what the configuration of that Eaton SC is. The other problem is going to be the length of the snout on the Eaton. If it's too long or too short then you're going run into a situation where it won't be cost effective to swap into a 5oh. I would have to question that sort of an install economically. The Eaton superchargers or notoriously inefficient and are often swapped out in favor of a Twin Screw.
