I couldn't find the old thread Quick had going about putting on the supercharger. I was wondering how that was going. Also, since the new mustang runs off the same computer system, then the new 4.6 should be a viable candidate for an engine swap. I was wondering what people thoguht about the engine going into the GT500. Does anyone know if it would even fit? Thanks.

Anyone know of any projects swapping the 3.9 for the 4.6?

We have talked about it before - the new engine is likely very expensive, then add the trannie, rearend, ...etc - might as well just bought the new car.
