Supercharged 4.2 ?

I got a 99 150 with a 4.2 5sp manual im looking to add a superchager to it. Is there anyone out there who has actually done this and if so im just looking for any sort of problems you might have run into. im planning on using a superchager of a 3.8 because they are easy and cheap to find and the two engines are similar in nature. If anyone can offer some advice please do i hope to get this project started soon and yes i know a v8 would be faster but if i wanted to do that i wouldnt be posting this now would i

I have been looking for the same thing although I have not bought my F-150 yet. I wanted to see what kind of hop ups I could find but I hope this helps...

Supercharged 4.2 ?

Well, I am looking at doing a super coupe swap... I was going to use the entire motor/tranny... Not sure if the Wiring harness is compatible or not... but it won't be hard to fix... I can always makea new one and splice the two together with a jumper made from an old plug... My main concern is whether or not I can pass smog with an SC motor in my F150 since harris county (houston TX) has been getting really strict with their smog laws.

Any ideas???

The only idea I can come up with is find an insection station where you can bribe the employees. There use to be one down in Victoria that I went to several years ago, but I don't kow of any here in houston (I live in Katy by the way) other than that I dunno
