There is excellent engine/master cyl clearance - I was afraid for a minute that it will require new engine mounts to shove it forward, but after a bit it settled in place and it was all good.

I am using the USDM MX-3 master cylinder. The GTX one had ABS integrated in it, and besides being heavier, it required some frankenstein-ish wiring to make it work with the MX3 harness - not to mention having to add sensors to all 4 wheels, etc. Simpler = less parts to fix.

The lower radiator support will require some fab work to allow for the supercharger outlet to clear properly. I'll make new inlet/outlet manifolds for the blower later on.

The ground clearance of the supercharger is the same as the oil pan - so that's good. I'll have to add a lip to the front bumper to hide it a bit better.
