Are you set on staying supercharged?

Are you hoping to find someone with experience swapping the engine out of a Cadillac sts-v (the most expensive Cadillac ever) into a Ford supercoupe? Because, you will probably be the first if you do this...

The idea is awesome. That xlr-v/sts-v motor is nice. If you do use it with the factory supercharger, add another heat exchanger between the reservoir and the blower. Still retain the main hx after the supercharger, as well.

As for wiring harnesses, make your own, don't be scared. Wire it up with megasquirt or the like, and perfect the tune. You are pretty much stuck with the stock cams and 9:1 compression ratio, unless you go into the custom market. So your only real room to grow is in the tune.

You mentioned a manual transmission option...? Did the xlr-v have a manual transmission available that I am not aware of?
