Okay, I really did search and found this, but I'm not totally convinced...

Is this the right part? It looks weird.

Why don’t you go solid and be done? Also why would you go with a cheap aftermarket part?

It looks like the right part for the isolating coupler but I've no idea why it's called a Repair Kit Bottom Cover Head. 🤨

It looks like a modern version of the spring loaded coupler from the 4.2L ones. I prefer these to solid couplers for noise reduction.

If I'm pulling the supercharger off the car, I'm doing the needle bearings, snout bearings and the isolator, not just the isolator/coupler. This kit has the spring loaded coupler/isolator, and all that stuff. The drive hubs usually are good, but it comes with them.

If you want to not do the drive hubs, you can get this AND the spring loaded coupler (and sell/save/toss the solid):

I'm on a time crunch, and most of the full kits and solid isolator will take too long to procure. It's this or nothing. That's why it is what it is.

Amazon is like $60, that's a bit much for a piece of stuff. I paid $17 for the same thing..... unless you can show me a difference? Seriously, not facetiously.

It was $25 earlier today with next day delivery (address dependent) but it won’t give me a link. I just searched for Jaguar 5.0 supercharger

Guess I missed that one. Oh well. I ordered that eBay one yesterday. If it isn't any good, I'll replace it again at a later time.
On a related point......
Dude is here and building my new shop/garage! It's been almost two years since I got the permit.
Anyway, no need for further info since The Deed is Done.
Thanks, guys.

Here ya go, footings in, foundation formed up for concrete pour tomorrow. I'm checking for floor epoxy guys (can't install until a 30-day cure time on new concrete pour) and also searching for a good two-post lift.

Edit: I DID see that one, oil filled nylon. That one seemed like a toy or something, it looks cheap and flimsy. I searched for those separately, and reviews had things like "Broke quickly" and "Cheap garbage".

Thanks, guys.
Most locatities here abouts, building permits expire after a year w/o activity/inspection.
They like to collect more fees!
