Default G8 Maggie tvs2300 on a V

Is there any reason this wouldn't work on a V1 and clear a stock hood? It looks like the blower sits back on the manifold for hood clearance and I believe it is the correct belt offset.

I know the Gto has been used with new pullies and some machining but I'm wondering why the G8 wouldn't bolt right up?

Edit, I just realized the g8 is an L76 not an ls2 and those have rectangular port heads. So a head swap would be needed. Not sure if anything else stops it.

Swap the heads. The LS3 heads are beasts anyways. That's about the only way to get good blowers on the V1.

Ya I know, they also drop the CR about 1 point. The flow helps but it just doesn't matter as much with a blower compared to NA. Our VE is already high.

It's just more money to swap in a TVS. I wonder if you can get a different valley section of the manifold to go back to cathedral. Depends how modular their design is. Then go ls3 heads later.

The G8 2300 was the route I was going to take if I'm ever able to tackle this again.

If memory serves me correct a g8 gxp kit is what's needed as the g8 I thought had the same pulley spacing as a Gto. I did it 4 years ago and can't remember but I think I needed the gap kit because of the pulley spacing. And you need to change heads if you do that option.
