Well if you buy a mach engine, I think it will bolt right up.I believe that mach heads are the same as 03-04 cobra heads....some one please correct me if I am wrong.
heads are the same, different cams. however the mach 1 has fairly weak bottom end. the 03/04 bottom end has a iron block, forged stainless crank, manley forged h-beam conrods with ARP fasteners, and forged dish pistons. the mach 1 has an aluminum block forged crank(manual)/cast crank(automatic), split pistons, and hyper pistons. theres a reason why ford built up the terminator motor, because they knew they were gonna get abused, and get more boost than stock thrown down them. there are guys running 1000+hp on the stock shortblock. however yes, it will bolt up, however i would be preparing to build up a new shortblock after a while, unless i got an ultraconservative tune.
 
It would be much more expensive to mount that then to buy a fully functional KB kit. You need a custom intake - blower plate - IC. Then you need the water pump - heat exchanger - reservoir. Don't forget a custom inlet tube - tuning and fuel rails.

Lot's of work.

Mistake me if I'm wrong but won't that blower bolt right up to my heads? and Doesn't the Blower replace the Intake manifold?

Is there any webpages that show what can be cone to make it fit?

The blower bolts to an intake manifold that you would need to fabricate. It doesn't just bolt up to the motor.
 
BTW where exactly would you purchase the lower intake manifold...and do you need it for bolting other S/Cs up to cobra or mach heads or do the procharger and KB blowers come with the lower intake.I am thinking about buying a mach engine then replacing the lowend with forged stuff and slapping on the sheetmetal intake that prochager sells with its kit for 03-04 cobras...would also have to change cams I guess for max performance...looking at quite a bit of $$$$ but I guess it can be done.I just want about 450-500RWHP and an aluminum block so its light.Wonder if I could hit that mark by just forging my current lowend with 8.5-1 pistons and just rasing the boost to around 15PSI...wonder how long it will last LOL.Dont mean to jack the thread in any way, but I think me and team801 have a common goal, WE WANT MORE POWER.
 
Here is the 03 Cobra lower intake. The blower bolts to this. As you can see it will not work.
