Default thinking of making a cheap supercharger setup

Hey guys i am currently working on an adaptor to mount a Cobra supercharger on my mustang and was wondering if anyone on here would want one for their truck. I was thinking i could also make them for an m90 supercharger too that way it's cheaper. They will mount on both 5.0 and 5.8 as its just the upper intake being replaced. Let me know!

the 5.0 and 5.8 intake ports are different upper to lower..

5.0 truck is squarish ports.
5.8 is round..

Yeah what i mean is that you won't have to get a different adapter between the two. Besides the port shape that isn't a difference.

That's a really good comparison picture. But i would be machining the party's so that they matched not just a generic bunch of holes. each adapter would be made for the engine specified.

If you need any machining done, let me know, I've got a million dollars of machinery at my disposal
