Don't know what model that would be? You can also buy Roushchargers for the 2.0.

The best conversion would be the new V6 twin turbo Ecotech that's just come out.

How much will this cost?

A: That is even harder to answer. Our East coast dealer in Florida (JD Motorsports 1-888-907-0477) also installs and he figures a first class conversion with new parts is about $20,000.00. The conversion parts, less engine, transmission and rear end purchased from us would cost about $5,500.00. That would include the bolt in engine cradle and transmission mounts, modified suspension crossmember, front steer & hub modification kit, sway bars, rack & pinion steering, alternator and bracket, clutch kit, steering shaft kit, rack & pinion extension kit, transmission cover, fuel tank, headers, rear end crossmember, 4-Bar kit and shocks & springs.

Fuck me that's allot

Aye the new ones 5.0 isn't it? Same as the new F150.

What's the RWHP and what boost you running?

What size top & bottom pulley are you running?
