No. Turbo is the way to go. You know how much HP it takes to drive a s/c? Also, a manifold for a blower on a 5.4 DOHC will NOT be easy to find...
But the turbo will never give you the low end torque the blower does!! It is going in a truck, right.
As far as the blower intake goes just find a GT500 or GT( super car ) owner that went twin turbos and you are all set! And you could grab the Eaton H122 at the same time!!
+10000 on supercharging. them mustangs sound fucking awsome.

They did that with the 302 and 351 for a lot of years too, same horrible heads. Hey, if its insufficient for a 302, it ought to be good enough for an even bigger motor. We'll do that so it sucks more fuel and makes no more power. Yay.
:banana: :banana: :banana: Yay Ford!!!
And Forman75, I'm thinking Tom's truck isn't really very heavy ... am I right?

Update! So, tampons werk great for getting the muck from out Of spark plug valleys on the engine. This could have been easier if i just put it on a motor stand and tipped it over. I need an engine stand
And compare a powerplant that is supercharged against the turbo car. Same engine, same boost.

this is the cheapest price i could find on this one $2800 not a bad price for brand new ford racing Eaton SC.
You can buy used Eaton H122's on ebay for less then $1,000. Some with as few as 50 miles on them. I've seen them sell for as little as $250.00. That's what I'm going to run.

Well Tom build two identical trucks one with a blower and one with a turbo/s. That way we could see the difference. For an all out race car I'd take turbo's. On the street I'd take the blower. Either way it's a cool project and I can't wait to see it done!!
