t-bird s/c on 5.0 fox?

[raphate]

ok guys is it reasonbly possible to use a s/c from supercoupe on a fox 5.0?
i was looking at 5.0 miatas and someone mounted theres on the side of the engine , it was on the passenger side header. it was mounted centrifugal style [but it is a roots blower]. would the base opening fit other intakes made for roots blowers on 5.0s?

It is hard. I've seen a few guys mount the m90 on the valve cover. No the manifolds aren't the same and noone makes an aftermarket intake for such an application. I tried doing this a few years ago and it is just too costly for my liking. To get an intake made I talked to Bennett Racing and they quoted me $2500-3000 for an intake. I'm currently working on a manifold for the application but everything is on paper for now. Plus you would have to lengthen the snout of the blower (app $600). Then you have all the assorted tubing and intercooler to worrie about. By this point you have a pro charger ATI setup and money left over.

Wow I can't beleve noone else has replied to this thread.

If you do decide to do the M90 thing the best bet IMHO would be to have a custom made set of valve covers. Ford Performance Solutions makes custom valve covers for around $200 out of sheet metal. Do a pretty good job too.

Anyone else with some input? I'm curious to see if anyone else has tried this or actually completed the swap. I know there is two people on corral that did it. If you searched to forums there you might find some more info. One was on a 302 and the other was a dual m90 windsor.

Also the M90 is designed for v6's not v8's. It came as OE on GTP's and SC's. Although according to eaton it will make power on an engine up to 350 CID hence why the windsor had two m90's.
