Hey guys, I am looking into getting a 05-08ish mustang GT as a project car. I just wanted to know, will the stock supercharger from a Ford GT (yes, that GT) fit on the 4.6L GT engine? thanks for the help!
any other opinions? I think its a 2.3 L... And another question: is it the same supercharger as the GT500's?
It probably is the same as the gt500 or at least similar. The GT500 s/c wont fit either without major modification, those s/c's are meant for a 5.4l motor, so their intake and all that is meant for fitment to a 5.4l. Just like anything you can do it but it just wouldnt be worth the time and money over buying a kit for our cars.
youd be better off going with a Kenne Bell mammoth version here is the link ! '05-'06 Mustang 4.6 3V Supercharger
No the Ford GT uses a twins screw design and the GT500 uses a roots style supercharger. I would go with the Kenne Bell
Then would I be able to fit the GT's supercharger on the GT500? I have the GT's supercharger sitting in my garage, thats why I'm asking...
I was wondering why you wanted to do that, but if you have it then its a reasonable question. But no, to much of a hassle....more or less will not work. Kenne Bell FTW
NO, they are not interchangeable either way. The 4.6L & 5.4L are physically different in size not just displacement. The 5.4 is larger with taller decks so the intake manifold of the 4.6L will be too small and the 5.4L will be too big.
I didnt mean the mustang GT's supercharger... i meant the GT, like the GT40 supercar thing... that has a 5.4 alum. block...
Are you getting a GT500 or GT? I would assume you could swap from the GT(40) to the GT500 . I haven't heard of anyone going this route before though.
"The Ford GT version of the 5.4 L is a highly-specialized version of the Modular engine. It is an all-aluminum, dry-sump 5.4 L 4-valve DOHC with a Lysholm screw-type supercharger and showcases numerous technological features, such as dual fuel injectors per cylinder and oil squirters for the piston skirts, not found in other Ford Modular engines. The GT 5.4 L benefits from an improved version of the high-flow 2000 Cobra R cylinder head and unique high-lift camshafts. The GT is rated at 550 hp (410 kW) and 500 ft·lbf (678 N·m), though independent tests conducted on chassis dynamometers have shown these numbers to be conservative, with as delivered Ford GTs often producing nearly 550 hp (410 kW) at the rear wheels. 5.4 L 4-valve DOHC supercharged V8 installed in a 2007 Ford Shelby GT500The Shelby GT500 uses an iron block 4-valve DOHC 5.4 L with an Eaton M122H Roots type supercharger and air-to-liquid intercooler.[10] The GT500 5.4 L shares its high-flow cylinder head castings with the Ford GT, with only minor machining differences, and shares camshafts with the 2003–2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra; which have less lift and duration than the Ford GT camshafts. All of the 5.4 L 4-valve engines destined for use in SVT vehicles, such as the Ford GT and Shelby GT500, have been hand-built by technicians at Ford's Romeo, Michigan plant." So, both superchargers have the high-flow 2000 Cobra R cylinder heads in common, so they should be interchangable. Get yourself an '05-08 GT with a blown motor.....install a 5.4L bottom end from a truck or explorer, 2000 Cobra R style heads, and you're supercharger, (and a GT500 fuel pump and some big squirters) and you'd be making some good numbers.
