EATON ON 2011 will it work

[striker 5]

since the new 5.0 has 4v heads like the 03-04 cobra will the supercharger as a whole unit work on this motor ?????

I don't think the heads are the same. I could be wrong...

 

[Twinscrewgt]

The heads are nothing like the termi heads except that they are 4v.

 

[striker 5]

the degree angle of the block is diff to I bet . I can't belive they would change the heads that much thats a lot of r&d money in to this when the old 4v flow so good

 

[Twinscrewgt]

The old 4v head don't flow anywear near what the 5.0 heads do. I'd say the r&d was well worth it

 

[kyoshosp2]

no parts were carried over to this motor except bore spacing.. It will never fit this motor

 

[dsblk93gt]

There is nothing but bore spacing thats the same like said above. This engine is totally different.

Still a 90 degree V8.

Even if it did work, there are a lot better options than the factory Eaton.

 

[striker 5]

still the eaton ported is cheaper and would add enough hp too equal a 100 or 200 shot to bad it wont work

Eaton swaps on older mustangs ended up costing about the same if not more.

Rod length and journal diameters are carryover from the 4.6L.

With blower sytems costing 6k plus it might be worth your while if you had parts readily available. Since the basic arcitecture of the motors are similar there is no reason a set of adapter plates can't be made. I wouldn't ever say it couldn't be done until the manifold is laid over the heads. Hell I was told I could never get a M122 Gt500 blower to work on a 4.0 v6 but I have been running that combo for two years. If you have access to a motor and a manifold it would be worth a look. Anything can be done but unless you can do the fabrication yourself it can get very expensive.

I case someone calls BS here is my setup.

 

[Twinscrewgt]

^ that is badass... I just think that there would be way to much work to make a lower manifold work, or else it would have been done by now.. just my thoughts...

 

[PBstallis]

popeye how much power are u making with that? sorry to go off subject

When I initially did the dyno tune it was on the Powerhouse dyno which is notoriously low, but corected numbers were at 300 hp and 345 tq. But a shorter belt produced 3 more lbs of boost so I really don't know the current numbers. In full street trim with 19" tires full body kit and a watts link it turned a best of a 13.2 at 105, as a reference Mike from Powerhouse in a bone stock 5.0 ran a best of 12.9 that same muggy day. I ran a full bolt on GT that day with gears,slicks and skinnies and we were virtually a dead heat. The car is very heavy but it makes great tourque down low and is a blast on the street, But back to the OP, just because some one says it can't be done,, well don't let that stop you.

Unless it defies the laws of physics it cannot be done. But when it defies the laws of sensibility is when i say it cannot be done.

the gt500 blower should be made to work shouldnt it?
