What are you doing to mate the GT 500 supercharger to the 5.3? Are you making your own intake manifold? Do you have any pictures of this beast? I thought that would be a good use for one of those SC's...

How about using the base from the Holley mid-rise intake?

Mine is a 91.. It has a MS3, it dynoed at 380RWHP in the Camaro it came out of. Hopefully it makes a little more in my car with better intake and exhaust.

No I only own the mustang right now.

Yeah the Ford racing is to mess with people. Its going to confuse the **** out of people, especially after the supercharger goes on.

If you mean mine, yes. However the picture in my signature is not my car, just a photoshopped pic of another '65 I found online. Kind of a blueprint for what I want to do with mine.

I think when I finish the mustang i'm going to sell it and buy a is300..I love those cars.

Love all those muscle car swaps. Would like to do one of those too. If I knew how ready it was to swap them I would have kept my 71 Camaro

If you end up swapping an IS300 let me know. I have a bunch or info on the wiring, including keeping most of the gauges working.
