I know of one for the Duratec 3.0 but I doubt that would fit. Sorry.

I almost bolted an Eaton M90 on mine... But I changed streams and just got a 5.0L.

I bought a home made kit that mounted the super charger off to the side of the motor, and directed "funneled" and air flow from the bottom of the super charger directly into the intake.

To supplement the surp. drive belt, an additional pulley was bolted onto the end of the 2.9L harmonic balancer - the bolts screwed into the holes for a puller. What it was off of, I have no clue... But that's the fun in something like this, discovering what works and designing your own stuff.

Ultimately, I had a plan for a custom adapter to bolt the SC right onto the 2.9L, but ended up selling what I had and changed streams.

Edit:
Finding and mounting one isn't even really the hard part - engine management is a big player on this...

I ran the 1990 MAF computer on mine with a mid/high RPM camshaft, the non-MAF - SD/MAP computer is pretty fragile when it comes to performance add-ons. I know JP3 used the same (edit: '90 MAF) computer with his twin turbo 2.9L.
