It's a Eatons roots M112 blower.. It's possible.. There's an f-body kit being made right now and allows for a Magnuson roots-blower

Someone sold a base on ebay that was perfect to make a blower base out of.

It prolly will be a while till anyone has a mildly do it yourselfer kit for a roots type blower for a Fbod. There just isnt enough room between the engine and the bottom of the windshield area to fit anything in there. Hopefully someone will get it to work shortly and make a kit outta it but it never seems to happen. GL man

Check out the threads by Ed @ Late Model Speed to see.

The kit he's proposing isnt the kit he's got on his car (the kit he'll sell will have a larger snout, and an IC). But he's mounted the blower with minimal cutting, and is making it work. Should be a nice little piece once he's all said and done with it.
