Default Aluminator HP?

I am thinking of getting a Ford Racing Aluminator 4.6 for my 03 GT.What has to be changed to accept the 4valve engine?Also about how much power do these engines produce?Any info is appreciated.

All I can think of is a different engine wiring harness and intake system. Were you wanting to go with the blown aluminator or n/a one?

I want to go with the supercharged version if it's possible to run the low compression engine without one for a while.I've been saving up for a 2011 GT since they were a rumor and almost went ahead and bought one but I think new edges are way better looking and I've done nearly everything else to mine besides a power adder.I think I'd be happier with a 412 hp version of my new edge.I think I could do it for less than half the price of a new stang.If there were more shops(especially locally)that had done a new 5.0 swap into a new edge I'd definitly go that route.Any other ideas anyone?

you know a Coyote is like cheaper than those Aluminator engines right? and the swap isnt hard, if they can do it in a Fox, no problem to do it in an SN95

^^^ I agree it cant be to hard to put a new 5.0 in a SN95.
On another forum someone put one in a Bullitt Mustang.
I think the hardest part I read was the VTT Gears and the TBW setup.

hell id just cam it out now, disable the Ti-VCT, and run something like a Logan, ported Cobra etc manifold so it looks like "just" a 4V swap lol

I just got done reading the Sept.2011 issue of 5.0 magazine where they put one in a bullit.It's a little more complicated than I thought.Also it's a little more expensive than an Aluminator.
