not sure how much room the mustang has, i have an LS/procharged engine in my chevelle, running a carb-i used the vette front setup, but i had enough room in the front b4 the radiator for an air intake, and made up my own piping for the intercooler/intake setup
you can go to Prochargers site, look at the diff kits, see if one looks like it would be close, then just order enough for the basic install, build the rest

Hawks Thirdgen Parts has/had a thirdgen firebird with a LS1 and Magnacharger. Its pretty bad. There is a vid on the website.

EDIT...sorry I should have read better. I see you are looking for a procharger...I was looking around to see what kit would come close to fitting on my thirdgen for while. But decided on a twin screw for future mods.

I'm in the stage of putting together an 402 LS1 with a F1A procharger (later) in my 82 Monte Carlo. Can you tell me how street friendly your carb/FI setup is. If its street friendly, I might go that route (plus its cheaper).

I was thinking about getting one of those Quick Fuel boost ready carbs. Did you port match your Vic jr to the heads?
