places to put supercharger?

I was looking for places to mount an eaton m45 or m62 on my 2.8.
i saw people use this one method where they bolt it down somewhere and use an adapter to make it basically a remote mount supercharger (i see a few of the fwd 3400 guys do this) ... but i cant find anywhere in the engine bay where this would work out. i thought about replacing the A.I.R. pump with a m45 but i dont know...
so if i could get any tips....

That doesn't make it a centrifugal, it just makes it what is called a "remote mount."

using the space over the rocker covers is pretty common.

Most people in 3rd gens with V6s tend to go turbo anyway.

Re: places to put supercharger?

Well when I was planning to do it with 2.8 plenum I was going to make a bracket to utilize the header bolts and plenum bolts and mount it at a 45 or so degree angle, but I also have no EGR, or AC, but now I will have to wait till I go hybrid as I am going to switch to the 3.4 plenum I have, that or figure out another way to mount it. But that general area is really the only spot there is to mount that type of SC, there or on top of the intake manifold, but that would require a cowl hood, and hell, I'm not sure that setup would clear on my car with a 2.5" cowl.

You could get a manual steering box and stick it where the power steering pump goes?
