ok, well if worse comes to worse i could buy a front bumper for a gt500 and put it on a gt with some modifications. I just think this is too good of a deal to just pass up. Theres about 10000 in parts i just get for nothing and if 95% of them will work then ill doit. another question, if the gt500 supercharger doesnt fit or i cant get a custom intake manifold made is it possible to just buy a seperate supercharger from a 5.0 kit and use the gt500 injectors, pulleys, intake, throttle body to save money. Or is none of this possible. And does all the suspension and sways bars everything fit with no mods. sry for all the questions just want to make sure before i go ahead with this. thanks
Anywho, the suspension parts should bolt right up, and you could spend a little money to make your front end look like a GT500. Is that the route you were planning with your car in the first place?
As far as the injectors and such, I think that with enough money, you could probably get that GT500 blower, injector, throttle body to work, but then you wouldn't be saving any money... Might as well drop some coin on a proven supercharger or turbo kit for your engine.
Long and short of it is that the exterior and suspension pieces should work. Go fast stuff, not likely.

I was planning on using everypart i get. Will prob buy the front bumper for a gt500 conversion so the hood will fit. also if the injectors and trottle body and intake will work then i might as well just get a custom intake manifold made for the supercharger to fit right? it should be about 2000 for a custom or look to see if another intake manifold will fit the stock supercharger on a dif kit. then I could just use all the other gt500 motor parts to compensate for the SC. is this correct or am i way over my head. Do u guys think im wasting my time doing all this. I mean it is free parts so idk. let me know

If you have 2010 you have a 4.6l so you can put the GT500 Eaton on it. You just buy the manifold from DOB. There is other threads about it here and the S197 forum and the Allfords forum (allfords is down at the moment). If you have a 2011 it won't different motor 5.0l.
Many of the other parts will work some won't.
