Fabrication for Supercharger

Alright. Has anyone done the custom fabrication required to fit a Vortech or an ATI, or even an Eaton or a Whipple to their V-belt F-body. I'm working on an engine build for my T/A, but obviously Paxton is the only supercharger I'm aware for for a v-belt set up, and I dont want to use a Paxton.

It occured to me that since I work in an industrial plant, and have a machine shop at my disposal, it might be a lot cheaper to fabricate what I needed than to switch my pulley system.

So my question is this. Has anyone else been on this ground before? or am I the first person on this board to attempt something like this. If you've done it, who's supercharger did you use, and which parts of the original installation kit were you able to make use of or modify, as opposed to building from scratch. Were there any other problems you ran into?

Just save yourself the hassle and call someplace that will sell you the later style serpentine belt system. It can be done for a couple hundred bucks, and saves a LOT of headache.

I got my brackets from camaro heavan 1-800-camaro-1

Thats my suggestion.
