There are actually thunderbird guys in the 9's with the supercoupe motor. The use some special housing for the m90. Crazy stuff. I would first get some more bolt-ons and stuff so you can learn about what u have under the hood. thats how i learned

Youcan find just the supercharger and put it onto your block, but you will have to buy a pretty complete kit anyway, like bottom end intake manifold and everything. But even though your motor and a super coupe motor appear the same, the super coupe motor has forged internals and lower compression to handle the forced induction of the m90 supercharger. Also dont forget about the updated heads. These internals are designed to handle (Boost). A mustang's design is not. You will be able to run a stock super coupe set up, but I would be carefull about how much boost you are running through your engine, stock SC boost should be ok with our blocks. However, you wont see as much horsepower because of the lower compression of the SC motor. If you do a complete supercoupe swap with the motor and everything, then you have a fairly cheap way to obtain some good numbers. But if you plan on just a supercharger, then I wouldnt do the m90 SC swap. You dont have a powerfull motor compared to the 99-04 split port engine, so I would suggest building your motor up, or doing a split port swap. Visit www.supersixmotorsports.com.

They sell a split port swap for $800.00. Or look at their single port (your engine) powerpacks. They get a little more expensive, but the power is very well worth it, especially compared to what your running now.

i would definately consider an M90 swap. somebody could prolly get a good list of everything you would need. but it will put out a great amount of torque, and a decent amount of power.
