I was wondering if a Marauder supercharger could fit on a crown vic or grand merc. I actually wanna do this sometime because someone at this track I went to had an ex-police car (crown vic) and it was running 15.6, around the same as our cars stock. Yes I know putting on a power adder to a car that cost $1,000 and has over 250,000 miles isn't too bright, but sense the air intake is on the same side and all is it just as easy?

Wrong ports for the lower manifold, the vic's or G/M's arn't 32 valve. It would need a new manifold to fit the S/C and the single ports for the heads.

Of course it's possible, Reinhart is building an '05 supercharged CV right now.

Remember the #1 rule of hot rodding, anything is possible, how much do you want to spend?

I thing Dennis has done more than one, not including his current '05 project.

Motorhead, if that car you saw was running 15.6, I doubt it had a blower on it...there are a few CVs running around in CVN-land that have AED Eatons and IIRC they're more like low to mid 14-second cars...and there's one GM that runs 13s...

Maybe the car you saw had one of those e-Bay electric superchargers on it... :lol:

FWIW I had several CVPIs that would consistently turn mid 15s with just a chip.

Kenny Bell has a Twin-Screw SOHC S/C with manifold for a Mustang, that I think would work, and most of the S/C companies make one for a SOHC mustang, so you should be able to find one. Getting it tuned is a diffrent story.

I would throw some PI heads at it first.

Dont forget you'd have to reclock the intake to take air from the passenger side, CV's GMs and MMs take from the driver side.

No it wasn't supercharged it was a next generation bluesmobile :lol:
