Default mustang vortech on a ls1?

I gotta buddy that has a vortech s/c for a 5.0 mustang he's trying to sell and he said he could fabricate it to fit mine...i told him he was full of ****...but he said for 1500 he could do it..including parts...

exactly how much fabrication would be involved to do this? IS it even possible?


thanks fellas
Travis

5.0 S trim could work, but the bracket that works for the S/T trim is very expensive.

$1500 is possible.. but not doing it right, as the balancer for the vortech kits is close to that much alone.

the 4.6 are reverse rotation, so thats a no, without mounting it in front of the motor, not easy at all

i wouldn't risk the possibility of engine failure.

spend the money on a kit designed for the ls1 preferably with the aftercooler.

you WILL love it!!
