Default Terminator Supercharger on S197 GT?

Hello All,
Anyone hear of taking the supercharger off an '04 Cobra and planting it on a S197 GT?
Easy? Hard? Nightmare?---Not gonna happen?

Thanks!

a Cobra has 4 valve heads. A blower manifold for a 4-valve wont fit on 3-valve heads

All you have to do is convert the heads, cams, intake manifold, computer, WHOLE electrical system of the engine, probably fix some clearance issues and replace some accesories, and for $10,000 flat you'll have a 4v 3v engine with no perceptible gains over a setup like the 530 hp Edlebrock supercharger.

It's not a nightmare and it could happen, it just won't because it's hard, expensive, and pointless, consider buying a 530 hp $4500 Edlebrock S/C and you'll have all the power you can handle.

Or any other supercharger that has been made for the 3v.
Obviously Legion5 likes the Edelbrock roots style charger but there are nice twin-screws that will easily fit the need.

if you're talking about the tuner edelbrock kit, then it doesn't have the Supercharger Pulley, Coil Covers, Handheld tuner, computer tuning, fuel injectors, panel filter, belt, plugs. for the complete kit you'll pay about $1300 more.

and it wont get you 530 rwhp out of the box.

but i do agree with what you're saying, the terminator SC is too much of a hassle.
