Ok here is my idea like get a brain trust going to put down on internet paper what is need for the BASIC install of an Eaton on the Marauder and then get it stickyed....I'll start if you can add something PLEASE post.
Here is the parts list for the 03/04 Eaton Swap to the Mercury Marauder:
Parts are scavenged off the 03/04 Mustang Cobra unless otherwised noted.
The car will have to be dyno tuned afterwards so ask around and find a good tuner in your area.Tell him what you did and he can get you a base tune for your car so you can safely drive it to his shop.Prices will very but figure about $500 if you don't already have a SCT or Diablo handheld tuner.
Eaton Supercharger (Low miles preferred or ported even better)
Billetflow 3.4 or 3.1 pulley, non-slip upper pulley

Intercooler pump bracket #4W33-8N500-A or make your own.
Heater coolant return tube:
for such a little tube it can be a pain...there are 3 ways to go about making clarence for the tube
Either smash the OEM one with a hammer so it clears the lower intake.
If you use the Marauder tube you will also need to plug the small coolant line that goes to the PCV valve fitting on the intake manifold.The Cobra tube does not have this fitting.
There is a lot of 'webbing' under the Cobra lower intake that can be removed to solve the clearance issue between it and the coolant tube. Go slow and check clearance without the gasket in place when the intake just touches the tube then you are done the gasket will add extra space.
or replace it with this one that fits properly:
Cooling tube F8ZZ-18B402-BA
Screw N807959-S309
Bolt N807309-S437
You will need to cut and weld to make a coolant crossover tube from the original in this manner;
Shorten the factory crossover about an inch in height and length. Weld up the end that attaches to the thermostat, removed and rewelded the mounting tabs to the botom of the crossover so they bolt to the heads, move the the other coolant hose nipple(the barb on the passenger side of the crossover tube) so it doesnt hit the belt tensioner.Make a tee from a couple of metal hosebarbs from the hardware store. The tee conects the upper radiator hose to the thermostat.Also either eliminate or plug the hose fitting that goes to the PCV valve fitting on the intake manifold.

swap brackets (conversion brackets)search Gortch on MM.net also 3-8mm x 120mm bolts and 3-8mm x 150mm got mine from Fastenal ,got them next day.
Take the top smooth idler pulley off the passenger side of the timing cover part number XR3Z-8678-BA and install it backwards on the alternator bracket.The alternator may need just a small amount of material removed to clear the pulley.
A ribbed idler pulley#F5RZ-6C348-A needs to be installed where the smooth idler used to be.
Cobra intake tube and MAF
Mafia
IAT sensor; DY-754 /pigtail; WPT-322 or use the Cobra sensor, just get the pigtail #3u2z-14s411-ssa (note, if the blower didn't come with the Cobra sensor you need to get one to plug off the hole anyway.
Here is a wonderful pinout for the MAF swap from 6-wire MM to 4 wire Cobra provided by Fordnut;
From MM > To Cobra
MAF P1 Gy/Rd > MAP/BAP/IAT2 P4 Gy/Rd Signal Return
MAF P6 Gy > MAP/BAP/IAT2 P3 DB/LG MAF Signal
EGR P2 Bn/Wh > MAP/BAP/IAT2 P2 Bn/Wh Reference Voltage
EGR P3 LB/Rd > MAP/BAP/IAT2 P1 Rd/Ye MAP Sensor Signal
If you use the 2 wire sensor then pinout is
MM>Lightning
MAF P1 Grey/Red > Grey
MAF P6 Grey > Grey
