I don't know if he is still making them, but Gord McMillan (REX Performance) made a complete supercharger kit (you had to provide the blower) for the VS-57. All of his brackets were cast aluminum and of his own design. It also uses narrow tooth pulley's and belt. I had the set-up but sold it all because it wouldn't fit in the engine bay of my 37 Ford coupe project.

To answer the original question, If you can find a VR57 (or 58 ) supercharger, everything else is available as a reproduction. Not cheap!
   The photo of Johns car (Hoosier Hurricane ) and my red car are both reproduction F code. Both are currently raced.  Pat Flieschman in Lubbock Tx will rebuild you VR 
Blower for you. He has and / or makes all the parts necessary. Don Antilla has T'bird Brackets. I make pulleys and bonnets.

Amazing.  I had no idea there were that many produced.  I have seen two so far.  One was a convertible and the second was a Custom.

The information I've been given said there were close to 1,100 F codes built.

I just read an article about 1957 F code cars.  The article discussed the first 100 cars and provided a breakdown by model.  Was that all the F code cars they made?  I thought I read there were about 200 produced in all.  Every car show I go to someone says they knew someone who had one.  I didn't think they were that common.  Didn't they build two 1956 TBirds with that motor for Daytona Beach?

At one time Don Antilla reproduced the T-Bird blower mounting bracket and the inlet and outlet blower hoses.  Don't know the status now.  I think it was Frank Grubbs who reproduced the air cleaner housing.

Pegleg, aka Frank Rice, former operator of Rebop Castings, recently posted that he has some supercharger parts available again currently... (just for info)
