    Would you swap a sn93 for a kenne-bell ?

    I have a 1990 5.0L paxton sn93 supercharger that don't have alot of money in. I am installing motor/trans, in a 69 mustang coupe. A guy wants to swap me even for the kenne bell set up, but I do the install.Will a kenne bell ts1000 set-up from a 94 mustang gt fit on a 90 Lx engine. He doing so because he is upgrading his engine to a 351 and his blower will not work.What is involved. What do you think about this deal?

    No chance man. You think reasonably priced parts support is a little hard to come by on the ball drive, wait'll something breaks on the KB.

    It always was a neat idea, and really is the closest to the big-block feel in small block package lots of us like.

    From what I've heard, if you're looking at producing wicked low-end punch, the KB is the shiz. I can only say that my experience with the SN has been a hoot and it doesn't seem to lack anywhere. It feels like a much better breathing engine of at least 50 cubic inches bigger, even on the little stocker 5.0 I have.

    It's up to you man but, I think you'll find a little bias here.

    What about the price of them? I am right in saying the KB cost $1k more ?

    Easily. It's a pricey little unit with a limited market.

    Since your installing it in a non-Fox body it should be easy to move things around to fit.

    90's got more free space underhood than a 94 but, there's not much difference in where the steel parts are.
