2018 roush 2650 in an 2011?

[aequitas4]

I've got the chance to pick up a 2018 roush 2650 blower and manifold. Anyone know how hard it will be to make it work on my 2011 5.0?

Very little Gen3 stuff will fit Gen1. In this case, I believe Direct Fuel Injection is the issue.

I installed the intake manifold and fuel rails from a 2018 on my 2011 with no problems. Isn't that gen 3?

Isn't the DI stuff in the heads?

After talking to a few people including roush the only issue I am hearing with the 2018 roush charger is that the manifold intercooler is smaller due to size restrictions on the gen 3. Roush is claiming they are even having high air intake temp issues due to the smaller intercooler

I think the real issue was the hood on the 2018 is lower than the 2011. To reduce the overall height, the manifold was made with less vertical height, hence the shorter intercooler.

Roush did mention there was less room for the intercooler in the 2018 due to the direct injection
