Ok I got some views but no responses. You supercharger experts help me out here. I dont think it will work, but I have a chance to get a Lightning supercharger (you know, off the truck) and an intercooler. Can these be adapted to work on a Mustang? I think prolly not but if it can, I can get one pretty cheap. Help me out here.

The lightning uses the Eaton M112(same as the 03 Cobra). As of yet there hasn't been an adapter made to fit it on the GT. So you're answer would be NO.....for now.

The M112 Eaton is both on the 03 Cobra and Lightning but the lower intake is different.

You might be able to tell saleen that you dropped yours taking it off and broke the lower intake.

IT all depends on HOW CHEEP you can get the blower for and how good you are a fabricating stuff
