Default M90 Q

Hey gus, quick question, I've been reading up on M90 Superchargers, and the articles state they will fit any engine 3.8L to 5.0L, but doesn't state what parts are needed for what. Since I'm damn near close to doing a full intake swap, I was wondering, if anybody knew if an M90 was worth it, because rebuilt they're cheap as hell, and I could probably pic one up with all the parts, for the same price my intake swap would be, and I'd yeild much better power gains. Any input would be highly appreciated. Was looking at vortecs for much furthur down the road, but for the price, the M90 looks damn good, and I like the look of the M90 SC over the look of the trickflow intake.

It'd be cool if they made a lower manifold for our cars that would all the M90 to fit. Those came on the t-bird supercoupes didn't they?

Yep, they did, and that's what's confusing, because I was reading up on them for a few of my sixer buds, and read they supposed to fit 5.0L mustangs, but I can't find any of the necessary parts, other than the S/C, which I would polish chrome if I got one.

Just google M90 supercharger, you'll come up with all types of info, but they leave out the fine details so you have to call up certain sites for more info, just figured I'd ask here first.

there is no 5.0 manifold to fit the m90. The biggest problem with it is the blower snout is basicly in the center of the s/c rather than an offset design which makes it very difficult to clear the distributer
