it can be done!
I see a lot of guys complaining about having 3 bolts in the starter and their is no way to change the ac compressor because you have to take a motor mount loose and raise up 1 side of the motor... etc.... I am here to tell you that these things CAN be done without having to unbolt anything else but the passenger wheel.... my wife is mechanically challenged and she begged me to let her help me, ,, not only did she have more common sense then most guys I had working at my shop but she actually figured out how to get the old compressor out and the new one in without having to do so much as loosen the shroud or unbolt wiring straps...and mine is an 02 EB 5.4L. and she did it right! All I did was walk her thru it and show some patience.......we should all be so open minded.... anyways just thought I would share

I tell my wife all the time that she is the smartest person I know.

I like the navigator interior.... your GT 4.6l I take it? Whipple makes a snarly, mean supercharger for that motor.
