The Magnuson can be adapted to fit, one guy on here done that and then later sold his car. A company was supposed to be working on a "kit" but havent seen anything hit the market yet.
The 3.3L Whipple WILL NOT FIT. Just not going to happen no matter how much cutting, hacking, welding etc you do.
The KB, havent seen the dimensions on it, but its b/w the Maggie and the big whipple, might be able to squeeze it in there, but you'd have to do a lot of fabrication.
Bottom line, turbo or centrifical blower.

Beat me to the punch... custom or nothing.
To mount the maggie you'd have to alter the motorr munts to get the long block to sit lower. You'd still have to trim the cowl a bit (but not as much if you didn't lower the motor mounts.)
This guy made a custom deal for his LT1...

Been there. Done that. Not worth the trouble. My car only made 462 and 490 on 9 lbs. and forged motor. I should have sprayed it with a 150 shot, but sold the car instead. I would look into some kind of turbo kit.
