Alum. block?
A question for you mechanics. Does the 2003 MachI have an all alum. engine? Can it be equiped with an Eaton Supercharger? The reason I ask this is the Cobra has a cast block and Alum. heads and is a step up from the Mach. I read where the 2004 has an alum. block and was wondering about the 2003. Thanks for any info.

Well from searching the web I understand (could be wrong) that there is no supercharger to fit the Mach one. But on one site it looks like vortec may be attempting to make one?

I think that the problem is if you *** the supercharger, you lose the shaker assembly. This is the main selling feature of the limited addition car.

Have you seen the new HotRod mag? It has a real good article on the new GT motor. 5.4L DOHC supercharged, drysump oiling and 500HP!! It does use an aluminum block but it is a new block that is reworked to be stronger.
