I think you forgot to add the info you mentioned.
Looks interesting. I would've thought those things were roomier under the hood.

What are your intake temps? They must be pretty high unless you have a hood scoop. I had my intake right in front of the motor and was seeing 120-160.

the truck pan is going to be changed for some more ground clearance. I will use the f-body one.

looks good! motor mounts look simple enough with a welder and scrap. why did you use the truck fuel rails and how? how was the center cross rail shortened? thanks in advance for any replies as I'm sure your time is valuable.

It is a 2003 grand prix a/c compressor. I will get some pic up in the morning or afternoon.
the fuel rails are not cut or altered. I made some spacers for the taller ls1 style 60# injectors... I will post pic tomorrow. Some day I would like to upgrade the fuel lines to an -10 and do a billet fuel rail... I would use a ls1 or 2 non return rail if I had one but, it is a budget build.

Default dodge magnum ls based swap twin supercharged

Here's a short video. Got rid of one kit selling the other soon going to turbo set up. I don't work for a supercharger company any longer, so I don't fell obligated to use them.

You need all aftermarket gages. The engine cradle needs trimmed some. everthing else is like any other swap.. hand made motor mounts, trans mount, drive shaft ect.
