New guy here with some ?????

Hello everyone my father owns a 97 extended cab 3 door f-150 with the 5.4L triton v8. Well ever since i purchased my cobra he has been wanting to supercharge truck. So to day he asked me to find out some numbers as to the cost and best way to supercharge his engine. Well i told him it might be more freesable to purcahse a lightning motor and tranny and do a engine swap. He is very open to the conversion if reasonable. So what do you guys think?

honestly, with his NPI motor, he'll be best starting with a PI motor and a take off Eaton setup

madenterprise has the complete list of parts he needs once he has the PI headed motor OR the HPS PI-NPI adapter plates


complete "kits" range from $2500-$5500 depending on the quality/condition of the parts / upgrades...



that setup you were asking about that "johnny" is selling, is a great starting point
