Edelbrock's Corvette Tuner Kit in a F-body? I like the design of Edelbrock's TVS supercharger kit for the Vettes mainly that they fit under the stock hood. What is the height difference between the LS2 supercharger assembly and a stock LS6 intake manifold. I haven't seen anyone else try it yet, but what about installing the LS2 tuner kit in a F-body. I'm curious if it will clear the body under the windshield. It might not be an easy install, maybe have to drop the engine and k-member to get it installed. It would also require poly engine mounts to keep it from moving too much. Also, it would be required to make a bracket for the throttle cable and find the right belt. I know there is about a .88" difference in pulley alignment, but that can be fixed with a spacer. Not look for big time boost like my Firebird, but a nice street system for the TransAm. Any thoughts on it?

I think there are going to be quite a few items that would need to be addressed to use that on a 4th gen fbody. Specifically, the intake ports on the ls2/ls3 heads are different than your heads, so to get it to work, you'd have to swap heads to a square port, but be careful using a factory head as the valves might not work with your ls1 bore size. Then there's the issue of getting the pullies to line up and work properly with your pullies..... and then you'd have to worry about clearing the cowl.

I didn't say it would be a direct bolt-in, there are some things that I'd have to get creative. The biggest part is getting it to fit under the windshield of the F-body. Anyone know the height of the supercharger manifold assembly and the stock LS6 intake from the top of the lifter valley?
