Default maggie on a ls3 headed fbody?

so, i have a 408 ci, lq9 motor in my t/a. for now i have a vic jr/4150 tb on it. the motor has ported, milled, polished ls3 heads.


sometime in the future if i can do it i want to put a maggie on it. wondering if anyone knows if/what maggie or roots blower will work with the fbody accessories (with non cathedral heads).

I know what to do for clearance. Its already done for my vic jr and 4150 tb. Just need to space the k. Just trying to find out if any rectangle port ls3 style blowers will work with the fbodies accessory setup. Or. Will i have to change it all.

you can order the ls3 kit w/ fbody spacing. i'd look into the heartbeat system. its a lower profile then the standard maggie, will be less hacking. also lighter as and more efficient. i believe you can order that w/ fbody spacing pulley. as w/ any setup youd have to fab up your own heat exchnager, brackets, intercooler pump, and lines.
