Poor Man's Shelby
Shout out for ideas to make this work. Take off Shelby GT500 supercharger going onto a 5.4 DOHC Navigator engine already installed into 2006 S197. Will I need intercooler? What size pulleys? 10.5:1 compression. I'm thinking 2003 cobra lower intake and intercooler with adapter plates.

Cool! Just a thought, but would it be practical to source a GT500 manifold and modify it for your needs since it has an integrated heat exchanger?
If I had to guess, it might require welding or epoxying up the ports then porting them so that the manifold would fit the navi heads.
Afterwich you could source additional GT500 stuff to complete the S/C install.

I'm thinking an N/A build.
Any links to build?
Thanks!

Yes the S-197 is wider overall to accomodate the 5.4 4v but you can squeeze a 5.4 4v into an SN95, Ford did it with the 2000 R-Model Cobra.
Check the FRPP catalog (available online) to see if they have any 2000 R-Model conversion parts to make the job easier.
You can also fit the 6.8L V10 in the SN95 as well.
