I have a '95 Cobra engine to put in a '66 fb & may want to add a supercharger later on. The a/c compressor won't clear the left shock tower, so I relocated it to the spot where the smog pump was. I plan to use the p/s pump & alternator in the stock locations. Where would the supercharger mount? I want a compact one with fairly low boost. Any comments/advise is welcome.

Most of the aftermarket S/C mounts I've seen locate the S/C compressor on the L/H side of the engine.
On my 68, I am still running the factory power steering for now, which mounts on the R/H side of the engine, and so I fabricated mounts to locate the S/C on the L/H side, with the alternator just down below. I've been running this way for about 3 years.
I really cannot visualize the accessory mounting and drive pads on a 95 cobra engine(4.6), and therefore can't really say.
I would guess that with A/C, and P/S, the accessory drives in a 66 will get pretty crowded with a belt driven supercharger as well.
Most of the brackets and such usually have to be made, considering crankshaft pulley alignment as well.
I know I haven't really answered or given any advise.
It will be a custom installation and have to be addressed accordingly.
Good luck.
 
question - the 95 cobra had a 5.0 engine, correct, not a 4.6?

if so you could ask the guys in the 5.0 forum about which blowers mount where. i'm sure there are 5.0's out there with all the factory accessories and a blower, so there must be a place to put it....but who knows if it will still fit in your engine bay.
