i know this may sound dumb but everyone i have asked hasnt given me answer, can you put a supercharger from a 96 t-bird supercoupe on a 02 3.8 :-?

 

[BruThru2002]

search much

Both engines are 3.8L so I don't see why not... Then again, I'm no expert, so I'd just do a search like he said

You need to talk to v6powerstang as he is currently working with someone on this type of project.

It won't fit directly. they are working on an adapter plate and a belt / pulley probably.

yup, he had something going on with the blower too.

 

[white99]

sounds like an awesome deal to me. I will definately be in line to buy one.

white99,

the split port heads/intake on the 99+ v6 cars are different than the supercoupe and 94-98 mustang v6 heads/intake.

we ditched the adaption plate and just made a full custom lower for hood and sensor clearance.

EDIT it looks like you found the thread already, doh...

How you getting around the alternator?

One of the differences is the computer too. You can't just swap engines. The SuperCoupe was designed on the Fox Body. A few differences down there.

DIfferent fuel injectors, Fel-Pro OEM head gaskets, Eaton OEM Blower, ect...

But I'm sure you can just buy the Super Coupe Blower from somewhere.

But here are some other choices. [http://www.kennebell.net/superchargers/ford/30escape-tribute/30escape-tribute.htm] That might work on the 3.8L Mustang.

[http://www.bbkperformance.com/products/induction_supercharger.html#INSTACHARGER FOR 4.0 RANGER and EXPLORER OWNERS ] I think that will really work on it.

the alternator isn't in the way. :-?

if i was you i'd probably swap that sc motor in there, and convert to split port, if you wish to persue a supercharger from us. that way you'd have the advantages of a solid bottom end and better pistons, rods, crank, and could dial up the boost via a pulley later on, maybe go for 12-14psi and still be safe.

EDIT - oh crap, i realized you don't have the motor... oh well. not worth deleting.

 

[RGR]

the low-boost kit would be OK on a stock shortblock, IMO.

Your thinkin about the GT alternator. The V6 is off on the driver side.
