Default Fbody vs Corvette supercharger setups

Has anyone here ever adapted a fbody procharger/vortec system to work with Corvette accessories or vice versa?

Seems like the brackets could be exchanged or maybe milled at a shop to move the pulley closer to the engine, but I'm not sure.

Just looking to research putting some boost on the chevelle and need to know options. I would ideally like a magnacharger but can't buy new and they seem rare used.

Might be more plentiful on a corvette only site?

its in the chevelle right? since you have tons of space in there, if i were you, i would do something similar to this

but use a eaton m122 off of the gt500s (you can pick them up for about 500$) and should be good for about 600hp, maybe some more if you port it
im going to be doing this exact thing very soon on my 4.8 fc rx7

There's an LSX cog setup on ebay right now with the correct ATI damper. Would be perfect for your application.

Found a Vortech supercharger headunit near me for $500.

Supposedly is still in the box from a rebuild at Vortech. Sound normal or too good to be true? Just the head unit, not a kit.

That would be one hell-of-a deal right there. Which head unit?

I sell most of the ProCharger brackets and piece parts at the above link. Take a look and let me know if you have any questions. Bob

It is a v1. Didn't say what trim. It's 3.5 hours drive and so far he hasn't sent me pictures. I talked to him on the phone briefly but couldn't understand him well because he was talking quietly and had a hispanic accent.

If I get pictures to confirm it is the reverse rotation I might just go look. Be pissed to get up there and it be junk though...

Bob: when I click on brackets are the cheaper items listed different brackets or is the $1500 upgrade bracket the only one? The names and descriptions seem odd.

I don't care about polished and pretty, just need something that would do its job.

Here is the Corvette bracket, if the Corvette bracket is what you are referring to. Thanks. Bob

Thanks man! I have a buddy with a proper procharger who might sell that to me, if so I will definitely order your brackets.

The rest of the kit would be intake piping/intercooler parts correct? I would not be able to use Fbody or Corvette parts here I would need to do a custom install.

Correct, the bracket assembly will get the blower mounted, then you'll need to make up the inlet side, the outlet side running through an intercooler(s), bypass valve, etc. Bob
