   Very nice! The little supercharger should make it get up and go.

Amazing how different looking 4.6's can be. (This pic taken after I had a fuel line springlock connector come loose......my fault)

Super nice car. I'm behind the times, I didn't know you can add a blower to those motors. And the hood can still close.

The Mustang cobras were available with/came with the supercharger in the early 0's.... 2003 I think is Rlibew's. Yes, they are pretty low profile. ALDOHC (?) from Colorado Springs was putting the same setup ('04 I think) in his Custom when his wife died and he lost interest. Lots more to do with Rlibew's setup vs. mine.
I moved my battery to the left side, couldn't have done that with the alternator position on the supercharged version. I assume his is in the trunk.

very nice ride ! looks real fullsize with those stretched out side trim and anodized panels removed. Great stance as well and I especially like the tire size.
Isn't it interesting how you can heavily modify a 57 and it still looks, well, like a near stock 57 ! ( In a good way!)

When Gene Winfield rode pssgr in my 57 wgn and upon asking his opinion on 57 Fords, he told me he liked them a lot. He rarely cared to customize one of them because in his words 'they are finished from the factory'. He meant that the design and overall looks of a 57 can't be improved much if any at all.

Rlibew totally got that right on his red rocket.imho
