One way is to do a lightning swap so it looks like this..... and it's a cop (coil over plug) not a cod its in the head not the intake.

You can't just bolt up a kenne bell to your motor, I don't think they make a kit for your truck. The only kenne bell that I know of for our trucks is an upgrade kit for the lightnings and harleys to replace the Eaton M112. The Eaton blower is a 1.8L blower and the kenne bell blower is a 2.6L blower so it makes more power.
It won't bolt up because your intake manifold is different. The only way to make it work is to get all of the parts for a lightning swap MINUS the eaton blower and then get the kenne bell upgrade kit instead. You are looking at a lot of money and a lot of work to get all of this to work.

Take a look at this kit. It is very easy to install. If you are good with your hands you could have it installed in about 8 hours. With fuel mods (42# injectors, 90mm lightning MAF) and a dyno tune you and assuming your engine is in good working order you will make about 380HP with the 9 pound pulley. This kit will net you the highest horsepower out of all of the supercharger kits out for the 2V motors. The ONLY downfall of this kit is that your torque curve will be much steeper than if you had a positive displacement blower. So you will have less low rpm power but it makes up for it in the high rpm's.

It really bugs me that you cant find this stuff for the V6's. I know I can put an M112 on my 4.2L but I would have to get an adapter plate made for the upper intake as well as a ton of other parts. On a V6 forum I go to a guy put together a parts list and cost to put an M112 on a 4.2L, costs around $2600.

Now I do not have first hand knowledge but when i inquired about Kenne Bell for a Mustang I called Joe Da Silva, Da Silva Racing, and he told me he stopped distrubuting them because of very poor customer service and many issues.

One day when I get all my parts together I will most likely be doing a Lighting swap in my truck but until that time I am still gathering parts so far I have a new never run Eaton blower, form a 99 Lightning, heat exchanger, and some various other parts. If this happens I will be building a new bottom end, and then I should get the power my truck should always have had

customer bought a complete kit for his 2000 truck, made to bolt right on and it worked well. Just do a google for kenne bell. Not sure of cost but you can get them in variable boost levels and opt for different pulley sizes.
never had problems with the one I put on and any questions I had were answered as well as sending another pulley quickly when I wanted to change the boost level. I also put one on a 95 mustang, worked well for what we wanted, gave instant boost and was very quiet which is typical of a twin screw supercharger.
