Probably a lot more work than it's worth...remember, he upgraded because that stock blower wouldn't feed a 4.6...on a 5.3 it'd be useless.

Good point, I was curious myself.

Cobras are 4.6L 4V motors. The 112 off of the Cobra will feed the 5.3L just fine, but you will spend more money than its worth to make it work. Just buy a Magna Charger kit and be done with it.

The only cobra EVER to have a 5.4 is the 2000 cobra r. All 96 and up have the 4.6.

sorry dude, you better check yourself on that one. There is not even an 06 cobra available.

(from Ford Press Release) Beginning with the original in 1993, every generation of the SVT Mustang Cobra has elevated its standard of performance. Now, the 2003 SVT Mustang Cobra raises the bar yet again, this time increasing power output to a level never before achieved in a production Mustang. The addition of a Roots-type supercharger and water-to-air intercooler to the Cobra’s 4.6-liter, DOHC 4-valve V-8 engine bumps output to 390 horsepower and 390 foot-pounds of torque.

There was never a Cobra (other than the Cobra R ) that was available with a 5.4L in it. End of story.

touche on the GT500, I just called and the are available....and a 5.4L. But I bet you FORD did not put a 5.4 in that 04, there is NO way it would have been certified.

Glad we can agree on the Radix
