swapping a factory GT500 s/c onto my stock 4.6?
okay so a friend of mine just recently upgraded his KR to a 2.3 ltr eaton charger(i posted a thread of his car i clean it) and he still has the stock s/c i want to know if there is anyway i can get his 5.4 s/c onto my 4.6 modular motor? i realize a different intake manifold will be needed, but what else? is this possible? any HELP would be appreciated!!!

although this has been said a million times, if that is what he wants to do then why not help him? torktech.com has the intake manifold. you will need bigger injectors, a bigger maf, fuel pump plus a boost a pump probably. a heat exchanger and intercooler hoses, etc as well. im willing to be that im forgetting some stuff you may need

your all wrong.
if the blower in question is for the 5.4l it WILL NOT WORK ON A 4.6, not very easily even with a tork tech kit. the spacing of the heads is wider on the 5.4l because the deck height is taller, so the tork tech adapter will not do anything ot make it fit. you MIGHT be able to custom rig something with some 5.4l to 4.6l adapter plates then a tork tech kit ontop of that, but then your going to have some hood clearance issues among many other problems (like belt sizes and **** like that).
