I did some looking into using one since they are on ebay and cheap. M122, built in intercooler, really nice.
The fab work needed would be building a 45 degree elbow going from the 0 degree blower flange to the 45 degree cylinder head. Thats all doable on a CNC machining center fairly easy.
The tough thing is the bore spacing is all off. The northstar is a 4" borespacing and LS is 4.4". Getting the nstar blower to have the runners split 1.2 inches would be the tough part. Again, can do via CNC and some computer modeling but its like a $600 part, at least.
I looked into it and its possible, but a lot of work. I decided it was easier to take a GT500/cobra blower and build an entire intake. Thats what im doing.
