the thunderbirds came with a factory option for the V6 supercharger, but mustang doesnt. why is that? and if i took a supercharger of a thunderbird and put it on my mustang, what are the cons of doing that, and any modifications that might also be needed to make the swap work??

probablly because anyone purchasing a new mustang interested in performance will buy a GT.....

Also, the T-Bird is a much heavier car than the Mustang and when the Thunderbird SC was introduced there was no such thing as the V6 mustang (base model has a 4 cylinder).

Thunderbird SC was offered from 1989 to 1995 Technically, V6 Mustangs started in '83.

Yes, but the only years that the Thunderbird SC and V6 Mustang were both offered were 1994 and 1995

actually they had a test mule in 93 with the sn95 prototype, it outhandeld, out performed, and got better milage then the 5.0, but fords heritage is a V6 and you cant have a car "missing" 2 cylenders be fastest then the "greatest motor ever so the idea was scraped

someone on 3.8 with a m90 swaped stang with just a simple GT catback (needed for backpreasure) ran a 14.0X, with a stock 2.73 open diff and 205 series rubber so with the basic 3.45 or 3.73 LSD a good exhaust, and some cheap GT rims and 245 or 275 rubber, mid to high 13s should be doable
