Would i have to rip out everything in my engine compartment of my 94 Ranger to make my dad's 352 police interceptor fit? Where can i get a supercharger for this if i can? Beacause everyone gives me a dirty look at Jegs because they think that i am lying to them but it is sitting in my garage. What combinations should i have to push me over 550 horse?
Plz voice opinions i need the help!!!

Man-o-Man have you got your work cut out for you.
These old FE engine's have gob's of torque. Most any part used to modify a 390, 427, or 428 will fit. A supercharger is available through Gary Dyer or BDS. http://www.blowerdriveservice.com Be sitting down when you hear the price.
The most major concern would be the front suspenion. They weren't built to handle the added weight of that old big block, but if you were to use one of the suspenion up-grade kit's made for the 385 serie's engine's (429-460) it should do the trick.
There are also kit's available to install the 429 into a ranger. Perhap's with some modification one of these would work for you as well.
