Sure, just have to fab a little bracket to give it an anchor point.

Or to take away the mystery,

Blower RPM = (Crank_dia/Blower_dia)*Engine_Rpm

Did you actually measure 10psi or is that what you predict based on the pulleys? My math says 15-16psi on a 4.8L engine...

Figured bracket would have to be fabbed was more concerned with clearance
