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.

- re-routing the vacuum lines
- re-routing the cooling lines,

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.
