Default Magnuson TVS 2300/2650 on LS3 Front runner

I have a 1968 Firebird with an LS3 and Vintage Air Front runner drive system.

Looking to install a Maggie 2300. I have searched the interwebs, called Vintage Air, called Magnuson and it appears that custom brackets (idlers, etc) have to be fabricated.
Anybody have this application and had success?

Look into chassisworks or speed techs from5 frame. They are made for ls setups and allow for running the ls accessories kit like a 4th gen fbody or a ls2 kit. That should free up the space to run the maggie..

May not be how you wanna go about it though... with chassis works your gonna have to swap out front suspension (I believe you can't use the factory a arms with their setup)

Hi, thank you for the reply. The challenge i am having is once the supercharger is mounted (it does fit under the hood) is how to connect the pulley to the existing accessory/belt drive system.
I am not sure adding an alternate sub frame solves for that.

Here is the accessory drive system on my car. how do you weave in the supercharger pulley, belt, idler here. Hoping for something off the shelf, but does not appear to exist

The Front Runner FEAD is a nice looking system. Unfortunately not many people made add-in’s’ for them. Most people went OEM or HOLLEY FEAD.

maybe call boostdistrict (just google it for the website)? they have a pretty extensive array of boost setups, might be able to help you out.
