what kind of supercharger would work

[dragracer969]

i have a 94 lincoln mark viii and it has the 4.6 DOHC v8. i was wondering if it was possible to put a factory supercharger off of a cobra on this motor. if so what exact supercharger and everything would i need.

Just go to 'Google' and punch in .... '94 Lincoln MKVIII Supercharger ... and you'd be surprised how many show up! Try it, it works! Otherwise, you'll just be bangin' your head up against a wall!

Before I purchased the S/C for my Mach 1, I just went on to all the Mustang sites I knew about, and asked questions in the forums. There are some great ideas out there, my friend. You'll find the answers you need, for sure!

Good Luck!

you may even try contacting one of the MMS sponsors to get some answers about what kits will work...they are very knowledgable and will be more than willing to help you out. for a full list of Official Sponsors, please go to www.mymustangsite.com/parts.php - there will be a list of sponsors near the top to choose from. be sure to let them know you are a MMS member when contacting them

As longs the 4.6L engine is the same one used in 96+ (preferrably 99+) models then it will work, anything else may require modifications to the intake, EGR (if it has a system), heads, etc.

I have a 1994 3.8L stang. I was wondering what type of supercharger, if any avaliable, to use. and what else whould I have to do to get the most performance out of it using 87 octane gas.

Early Sn-95 3.8L engines are very hard to get power out of in their stock form. As far as the best S/C to get, Vortech would take that vote as they're the cheaper of the two out of Vortech and Procharger (which is an awesome S/C, but overpriced IMO).

You can also use an M-90 supercharger off of the old thunderbirds, but to make one work requires massive modifications and isn't worth it IMO.

Best way to get power and remain mostly stock would be to get the vortech kit (make sure it comes complete with the fuel system) and be done with it.

Another route to gain power (which will be more costly, but more bennificial in the long run) is to do a split port intake swap, and the Vortech. A split port intake is the same intake and head assembly used on 99-04 Mustang V6s which is an instant 40 rwhp gain right out the box with the swap, plus the 9-11 rwhp gained per PSI of boost with the S/C, as you can see, much better gains. You can get a kit from Super Six Motorsports for the swap, or you can get one of their power packs (which will allow for even more power) and continue to build the engine. Another way to get a split port setup would be to go to a junk yard and pull one from a used car. You need the upper/lower intake, heads, throttle body, MAF, wiring harness, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and #19 or 21lb fuel injectors (for a stockish setup, go higher for the S/C 30-40lb).
