    can't see this working without serious modification. normally on a "V" engine the charger is between the 2 heads on a manifold. never seen a manifold for this setup unless you get it custom made. probably a lot cheaper and easier to fit a raptor style supercharger to this engine

    you are still going to have to develop/manufacture intake manifold to suit and brackets to mount the whole lot etc. ifyou can do this yourselfto save money it would be good on the pocket. no reason not to do it as it would definitly be unique, definitly wakeup that 3.3

    Well to simplify things i'd personally run it on lpg with a throttle body.

    what's with the lol? I can't see any EFI gear on that engine, and it is a carby manifold. The intake for the supercharger is at the back, so it can't go on top like on a roots blower. and as far as i can tell, it isn't under the blower.
