Question 1973 mustang motor?

as of right now i have a 302cid motor in my car...not the original but the same year and i want something biger and has more balls. I was thinking a big block like a 390 or 460 because i know my car is made for a big block motor but i was also thinking a 351w motor. like the one used in elenor in gone in 60 seconds. and whatever motor i get i am planing to bore it out and turn it into a supercharged car because i love the look of the supercharger sticking out of the hood
I just would like some of your guys input on this.
Please and thank you

Jim

The real gone in 60 seconds was a 73 mach1 which was a 351c a 429/460 will bolt right in with the right headers and motor mounts.A fe i have no clue but I'm sure someone has done it.If it was me i would go with a stroker 351w for a street car if i wanted a drag car then 557 out of a 460 p51 heads would make enough power.
