Just look up kenne bell supercharger. But all my stuff is 94/95. You would need a 94/95 motor for it to work, not really the motor, actually just the front end/accessories because the superchargers snout is a different length and mounts using a smaller bracket than 87-93 units.

Day 3

Removed the heads, fan, and radiator. Went to bring the heads and lower intake for remilling and repair but the damn machine shop was closed. Only thing left is to go buy a motor puller and yank the motor out the car.

Sorry, the GT-40s are going back on, I'm trashing the stock E7s that come on the new motor. The studs I just bought.

Only thing I have that may help you is a Granatelli MAF for 30lb fuel injectors only thing is it's for a 95 Mustang GT ecu, and I can include the ECU with the package. That way all you'd have to get is the fuel injectors if you don't have that already.

Day 4 (New Engine Tear Down)

Parts to be cleaned, painted, and will go back on.


Parts off the new and old motor to be scrapped/sold


The new motor, only took two hours to tear down to what you see. It was a complete motor with wiring harness.






Tomorrow I'm gonna take out the old motor and begin rebuilding the new motor. Gonna put a new timing chain on as well as all new gaskets. Then sort though that pile of parts I have and decide what I'm gonna use then get rid of the rest.

Thursday I'll probably sand and paint the new block Ford blue and sand and paint the brackets chrome/polished. Don't have the time to sit there all day and polish that stuff by hand, just gonna paint it and put a good clear coat on it to seal it and protect it from corosion. Stupid neighbor always burns weird stuff and it eats the hell out of my aluminum if I don't remember to go keep it clean every so often.

Day 5






Didn't do too much today, just cleaned up the engine block a little bit, still have some more to do on the bottom side, cleaned up the cylinder head surface area, cleaned up the pistons, cleaned up the carbon build up on the upper tops of the cylinder walls, and got a crap ton of old rust and oxidation off the engine.
