You probably meant the LS motor.

The Coyote is similar in length to the 4.6 modular since they share the same bore spacing. People have supercharged the 4.6 and 5.4 in the Pantera and it works just fine driven from the crank.

On a different note, I see that companies are claiming a gain of 30 rear wheel horsepower with long-tube headers and an X-pipe on 2011 Mustang GT's with the 5.0 Coyote. A custom re-programming or "tune" will net around 10 hp. Seeing that the motor appears underrated given the rear wheel dyno numbers, I think one could expect 470+ flywheel horsepower in a Pantera, maybe a little more with the fancy Boss intake. Superchargers are putting the motor past 600 hp.
