What blower? You may have to reclock the houseing. You need to unbolt the housing and physically move it to the desired location.

It also matters if it was off a modular car as well, as they spin a different direction than the 5.0L cars.

Some Mustang blowers are straight discharge, others are curved.

Which head unit is it?

youw will need to make sure i is spinning the correct direction, and you wont be able to just order the bracketry, as vortech only makes the G tim kit

RMCR makes a t/ys trim kit

see if you can recognize it here www.vortechengineering.com
You can always get custom piping done. Either way you'll want to run an intercooler or aftercooler with it.

Race trim would imply its at least a T-Trim I would think. The Modular spin counter clock wise if I remember right while the F-bodies spin clockwise...I think so no that wouldnt be good deal for you...I think.
