That blower sits on top of the intake. There is a pulley on one end, and the throttle body opening on the other end. The pulley end is going to be at the front of the engine. So the tb end will be within a couple of inches of the firewall.

Only if you can rig a quick 180 degree turn coming off the tb end of the blower, and figure out a way to mount the tb somewhere further upstream. (and deal with stabilizing it and connecting the throttle cable to it)

Yea 200 seems cheap now, then you'll be spending 2000 to rebuild your engine soon

But yea, doesnt look like it can work, sorry.

My engine is still running strong. 85,000 miles. '98 3.8 automatic.

A year with various nitrous shots ranging up to 150hp shot.
Ran a 13.2 at 103.5 mph.

And now a couple of months running a Powerdyne supercharger putting out 10psi.
Ran a 14.1 at 100 mph.

It runs 15.4 na.
