Centrifugal SC for truck accessory drive
Apologies if there's already a good answer out there; it seems like most of the recent discussion around here is (understandably!) around turbo setups.
Are there any readily-available bracket kits which can be used to fit any of the popular centrifugal superchargers to the passenger's side cylinder head? Ideally I'd like something I could line up with the rear belt drive on a truck crank pulley, and it looks like all of the common truck setups hang the supercharger from the driver's side. Would it be fairly straightforward to take one of the C5 Corvette offerings (A&A, for example), and re-do the spacers? I like how the inlets face forward on some of those.
I'm currently in the process of swapping an LQ4 into an SN95 Mustang. I was originally planning to go with a single turbocharger mounted forward of the passenger's side head, since I've seen a lot of setups based on that idea. However, it occurred to me that there's more than one way to skin a cat, and it would be a good idea to investigate my options before I start serious fabrication. I'm currently using a modification of the truck accessory layout (http://lsbrackets.com/ls-trucksuv-al...umber-ls-0203/) and I'm really happy with where the accessories wound up--I've got plenty of clearance, even with the big DR44 truck alternator. I am not planning on using air conditioning, so I have TONS of room on the passenger's side of the engine compartment. I like turbocharging, but it really does look like running the downpipe where I want it will be a tight squeeze.

With the ProCharger line the only one that gets you close to the passenger side (that I can think of) is the Corvette C5/C6 systems. http://shop.brutespeed.com/ProCharge...Parts_c568.htm Take a look at the link here for the Corvette brackets. Bob
