what we need is a intake that we use the superchargers form the 3800 v6 chevy or the supercoupe v6 those things are cheap you can get a used one for like $100--$150 thats the ticket for about 10# of cheap boost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im suprised none has came up with something yet unless I just havent found the webpage yet?
the ones form the v6 supercoupe are a direct retrofit to the v6 mustang some of those guys are turning mid to low 13's with the v6 mustangs imigane if you could get one on a v8...

yeah, thats just a cheap eaton m90, theyre on everything from regal gse's to cobalt ss's, pretty much used on most production vehicles...... problem though, they would provide minimal boost on anything over a 302 without being bored to a larger displacement. you can add a smaller pulley, but then your over working it and premature failure would likey happen. just my .02

Why do you say it would need to be carbed? It is the same principle as KenneBell.

they do you just need to be carbed to run a roots blower like that for a 5.0

+ 1 it's the lower intake that needs to be modified.
The distributer location would cause a problem, however it's nothing an intake spacer couldn't get around, however that would require a larger cowl hood to get around as well.
Reason it hasn't been done is there is probably little to no demand for them on the market. But for the demand there is, nobody probably wants to tackle the task of getting around the distributer, or to take the time to work out how to make one work on both 87-93 and 94/95 models. It could be done with a custom fitted spider based lower intake that's been custom made to harness the S/C, fuel rails, and injectors, however, then the distributer comes back into play.

I've seen what he's talking about done in reality!! looked wierd/neat as heck!! I was at the track about 4-5 years ago and some dude had swapped in a fuel injected set up into a old style fairmont and had fabbed up his own plate set up to cover up the vanes and fabed up his own bracketry and tubing and had it mounted to the side like a cintrifigual set up would be.......it worked well too!!.. he was running low 12's
