Hmm, the pics I posted were showing up after I posted them. Here are the URL's.

The main body of the supercharger sits above the front valve cover, or atleast that's how it looks in the pic compared to an OEM engine bay. How much clearance is between the valve cover and the hood on a contique? My SVT has an empty engine bay, or I'd just look for myself
The supercharger itself...
The supercharger installed...


Edit: OK, the oil cap on the 3L front valve cover hits the hood like demon said. I'd almost bet that it would sit over the 2.5L's cap or not fit at all, and then there is the hood clearance issue ontop of that....bummer.

This big A$$ lump in my hood may be good for something after all...probably not

Not a chance!...

Then I'll make the lump bigger and get rid of the birdbath while I'm at it
