supercharger

Question is there a way to put a supercharger from a 3.8 t-bird on a 4.0 ranger I have a 91 ranger 4x4 and I would like to see if I could put the supercharger I have on the 4.0 that is in my ranger

Yes there are a few people that have done it. There is not a kit so everything would have to be custom made. That includes a new intake manifold or at least an adaptor to the existing manifold.

The ford tech is mistaken. The 3.8 and 4.0 are completely different animals and the intakes are not compatible. It would be far easier to modify your intake then it would be to try and get the 3.8 intake to work. Its just not gonna work without a complete redesign.
