I'd really appreciate you measuring the lower sc support, that looks pretty easy to rig up something.
I called Pat today, so looks like I'll be going that route. I'm getting an xcal 3 with a tune to support the jrsc from him.
Dblast, Thanks for your input.

In terms of the brackets you mentioned you're missing, the only potential source I know of is Moss Motors and you already spoke to them. I also know that they are out of belts and gaskets -so at this point I really don't know how much support they have for these kits.
I'm pulling all my stuff together to get ready to install the new engine including the supercharger - so if you want I can take some pics and measurements of the brackets and worst-case scenario you can have them fabricated ... IIRC they are simply bent sheet metal; pretty sure they're not cast or anything. That of course assumes the Zetec brackets are the same as SVT - it makes sense that they would be, but I don't know for sure.
In terms of tuning, personally I wouldn't bother trying to get a powercard - just jump straight ahead to an XCal 2 or 3 ... get someone like Pat at Steeda to give you a base tune - and then if you want go the extra mile with dyno tuning or distance tuning with Randy.
I'm sure SCT has tunes already written for add-ons like supercharger ... and FWIW - even a base SCT tune for a stock SVT gives you the option of adding fuel right off the shelf.
I may be mistaken, but I think Kevin (Hardkore) at one time supercharged an SVT - maybe he can add some insight.
Dblast, Thanks for your input.

There was a braket difference, the SC pulley was a different size, and the black box must have been different to accomodate the SVT ecu.
