Well look where the supercharger gets its air thats never gonna work and from the height you would have to cut the cowl also this is for a gen1 block not for a gen 2 block if I am not mistaking and so I think its not gonna fit right with the bolts/holes.
This is just my opinion and before I would try to modify that magnacharger I would modify a weiand 6-71.

Those trucks had Vortec heads which used an LT1 intake port design. They are not LT1s, but a Gen1 engine with a few fetures that were borrowed from LT1s. The only similarity is the internal components.

Pontiac actually built a 93 supercharged formula firebird. I was an article in High performance Pontiac Magazine it was in the September 2006 issue.

ON THE COVER: The 8-second pump-gas '76 T/A in-flight photo is by Thomas A. DeMauro, and the inset of the secret V-8 supercharged Formula was taken by contributor Donald Keefe.
