Here. Bring you car and a Kenne Bell full Corvette kit and I will make it work. Just have enough money for the fabrication bill because it can be done without major modification to the firewall. I am serious.

Well lets see here. Corvette accessories to begin with. If the cowl can't be massaged enough then the motor and driveline will have to be moved forward. New engine mounts, trans mount, driveshaft and God knows what else. It could be done and we are only talking about 2 inches. Extreme yes. Impossible no. It would be a lot of time and money but if you wanna be different than thats the way. The other way is to get a fabricator to make an intake manifold that will position the blower forward but once again that gets expensive as well with a new serpentine system.

Bring it where?

Would $10-12,000 be enough... dead serious!!

Of course I have a LT4, so take that into consideration.

Well the LT4 would need a completely different manifold and intercooler setup. Someone like Wilson or Beck would be able to make that. I think the one off manifold would run at least 4-5K alone.
