firewall modification

Hello,
I'm installing a Harley supercharged engine in my 98 Scab 4x4 f150.
Old motor is out and I have the new motor on the hoist. It looks like a tight fit.

Are the firewalls and or engine mounts changed on Lightnings and HDs to recieve the supercharger?
Just wanted to find if I need to make changes before I set the engine in.
Thanks, Mark

They are exactly the same. You'll need to take out your radiator and the torque converter. It'll be a tight fit but it goes.. Just be patient.

remove the radiator, but leave the TQ converter.

Leave the blower off and the lower intake to ease installation

Easier to get to the bellhousing bolts with the intake stuff off, and goes under the cowl easier also.
