Default Supercharging a 5.0 explorer?????

Let the flaming begin:

I got an extermely good deal on an s-trim for a 5.0, i recently got rid of the mustang and got this 5.0 explorer so I dont know what to do with the s/c, so my questions are:

1.) Can it be done?? and correctly??
2.) Would it be worth it, or just sell the s/c??
3.) Will the power be noticable in this heavy ass truck??
4.) Anyone know of any roadblocks that might occur??
5.) Will a fox body 5.0 bracket work for this application??
6.) Will this make my vehicle less dependable??

I know these may sound like retarded questions, I have seen a couple on CarDomain and such but id like tos ee if anyone local had any answers
