Default 4.6 swap please help

I have a 2003 mustang gt V8, I am thinking of putting on a roush 427SR engine.
question I have is does it fit under the hood, here is the link to the site http://www.roushperformance.com/engines/engines.shtml

also, If I had that engine can it be supercharged?

you can make any engine fit if you really wanted to. I'd assume it could be supercharged. Better look into a new transmission also because your wont bolt up to it. your factory harness wont bolt up to it etc. Headaches and more and more headaches.

thanks for the answer. although I know squat about technical car names like the harness. I know the basic things like HP and torque but not much. What is it I need, can you list most of the things I need for a change of motor like this one.
so far its a harness, whats is that?

by any chance you know any engine that fits right in there, one I can drop and fit in. for example does the cammer 5.0 fit there?

Why are you trying to do an engine swap? Why not start small and mod your car a little at a time so you can learn about your car. What's wrong with putting a S/C on your 4.6 in your car now
Attempting a large project when you know very little can only lead to frustration's and maybe even lead to not wanting to work on the car. If you start small and learn you fell like you can accomplish things and your confidence will also improve.
And yes the Cammer will fit in your car

I kind of agree. Can I still be fast and beat evo's, hondas and all those tuners.
I need your help them so you can guide me to have a fast ride. I know this is irrelevant but which mustang body is the lightest? I have an 2003 is that lighter that the new ones, I know fox bodies are lighter right?
Is there things I can do to make my car lighter.

The phrase to remember here is "Deep pockets with little sense"


...See what I did there? It was a pun, (a pun is a play on words) Cents vs. Sense, get it?

Merry Christmas

exactly what i was thinking. Imaginary money is probably being used in the transaction also. I do love some Monopoly.
