Good luck with that! The reason they sell so cheap is because they don't match up with any other car easily...you basically just wasted 300 dollars.

You'll need to make an intake manifold to fit, that is the only thing I don't think you'll be capable of.

What all made it "complete?" Does it already have the intercooler, coolant tank, and hoses? If you've got all that, all you'll need to make is an intake manifold and try to rig up a way to move your alternator, and maybe add an idler pulley so you get better belt wrap around the supercharger pulley.

If you're smart, you'll do this so you can make more kits and sell them and make a killing

What you might want to do, is just ebay it.

There is a ton of stuff (2-3k of parts) you need to do to put it on a Mach1/99-01 Cobra, nevermind a GT... Good luck with all that man. If I was a betting man, i'd bet i see that eaton back on Ebay tomorrow, but we'll see how smart you are...

the manifold is set up for a 4 valve head. its gonna get pricy.

just sell it, and save up for a dedicated supercharger setup from vortech.

Almost no chance you will get it to fit.

And if by some miracle you manage to make it work, your stuck with a ****ty supercharger. It won't perform anywhere near as well on your 2v as it does on the 03 cobra. Expect maybe 350 WHP with full boltons and a great tune.

Not to mention that most of the 03/04 cobra blowers out there have been overspun and are worn out.
