I was under the impression that Jerry Barnes/Trilogy was working with FORD to develop the S/C version of the 4.6 DOHC.
Too bad either way, as a S/C Marauder would have made it a true bad boy/badazz 4 door Sedan!

I have read about Roush building a few Marauders for individuals. I'll see if I can find the article. Hope I am not thinking about the Kenny Brown info.
Here is some info from the forum.

Here is an article that states Roush helped with development of intake manifold and dual exhaust

Roush Performance helped out along the way, notably in the development of a new intake manifold and the dual exhaust system. The net result is 302 horsepower (at 5750 rpm) and 318 pound-feet of torque (at 4300 rpm). That falls short of the concept Marauder’s supercharged engine but handily betters the Grand Marquis’s top V-8, which can muster only 235 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque.

Embassy (Steve) has some photos of the Marauder S55 Concept that has a Roush/Eaton supercharger.
Supercharged S55 Marauder.
Mechanically, same motor with a Roush/Eaton supercharger that creates 5lb boost. and supposedly produces 345HP & 345 ft-lbs, a Visteon 3.27 limited-slip axle, Roush calibrated and upgraded 4R tranny, traction control, etc. http://www.supermotors.net/registry/media/695724

If interested Have a 2011 TO 2012 SUPERCHARGER FROM A Shelby Mustang for sale in the classifieds. Always felt the power it can achieve should have been stock

That "1 of 1" Roush Marauder was something a guy won in a contest. Roush added the Bondurant spoiler, a couple badges, changed the seats, and that was it.
