No, the engine sits too far back under the cowl panel. You would have to do way too much modifying to make a top mount supercharger such as the one shown there on ebay, to fit. Bob

If the motor was sitting on a stand next to the car, of course.

Also...

Wish I could find a picture of a 16 or even better, an 18-71.

For those wondering what you'll need under one of those babies to make the power:

a 427 c5r with a 14/15-71 blower would be sick.
