you would have to convert your car over to C heads (99-01 or 03/04 improved heads) then you would need all the eaton swap parts.
since your going to have the cnage heads, and all, your probably looking at $4000+ to do it.
just buy a blower made for your car, the heaton sucks anyway.

well if you can pick up a stock blower for $200 buy it, and flip it because they will bring $300-500. but if it was as easy as spending $300 to get a eaton EVERY 99/01 cobra would have one. the blower is the cheap part, there are alot of parts you need to put it on.
no, porting your heads wont work you have B heads, you need C heads, completely different heads. your heads are almost as similiar to what you need as 2V heads are, there quite a few differences.

ok... i kno the guy also has the stock heads he used to own a hot rod shop in town but is moving to arizona so is kicking everything really cheap if i can get the blower and heads for under 800 would be it a decent buy. bascially what all would i need to make it work cause i would love to have a blower. im not scared to spend the cash. i already have a bigger fuel pump so thats taken care of but injectors? fuel rails? do i need all that new too?

you still need ALLLLL of the 03/04 conversions parts, pullies, bridge, front cover, HE lines bunch of brackets, altenator, bracket, lower intake manifold, intercooler, all the line, and a bunch more ****. im telling you ddue, if you have to do the heads its going to run you $4000+.
would be a MUCH better idea to just buy a blower meant for your car, because you can spend $4K and have a heat soaking blower that blows 8PSI of hot air, or you can spend less, and get a much better blower thats meant for your car.

Buy a KB for 3800 and call it a day. Not sure what all you need to convert to those C heads since you already have the 4v heads. But if the supporting mods are gonna run you up that much, it aint worth it. Port your **** and get a KB. You'll make more power than your short block can handle.

It's not worth the time or money to swap the Eaton blower onto your car. You would be much better of buying a blower ment for your car, like KC said. You would see better numbers and have way more capability.

you want a twin screw, not roots. whipple doesnt make one for your car. if you want a positive displacement blower KB is the only way to go. however on your motor you CR and all is right for a centri blower, and i think you would be much more happy with it, and would make your motor last alot longer. i'd throw a vortech, or a procharger on it, and call it a day.

when you hear rumor of a problem you should take it with a grain of salt. whenever you put soemthing on a high HP there are so many factors in a product failing or not, and those need to be weeded throguh before you can blame it on the product.
vortech makes a great product, i would choose a vortech over a procharger any day of the week. both are good though.

they both have quite a few headunits from ones small enoguh for 4cyl's, moderate street ones, high power street ones, and all out race ones.
i'd get a V2-T trim, and call it a day.
if you want to make 500RWHP be prepared to buy a new motor because yours isnt going to last very long.

I would rebuild your motor with forged internals and slap the blower on, then look at a t56 trans.

i would build your short block...get some C heads off an 03/04 cobra and put a whipple on it...you can get the rest of the misc. stuff used...would be alot cheaper

But a lot more work considering the extensive list of parts needed to convert the front drive system to that of a 03-04 Cobra. I did the swap on my Mach and couldn't be happier. Yes a twinscrew is superior to the heaton, but on the stock block I can't make use of the power they can put out anyway. Plus, now if I forge the internals, all I need to do is swap out the S/C unit.

Ummmm, all 99-04 Cobras have C-heads. FYI. No need to swap heads.
