Sounds like a bit of work ahead of me...
Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
the ecotech intake manifold will not fit the buick heads, and the buick heads will not fit the ecotech block
so you got two choices
1. ecotech engine.
2. adaptor plate to mate your current intake manifold/supercharger to the buick heads.
an adaptor plate is ideal and should give you more torque (a longer intake will shift the harmonics of the intake further down the rev range) and (given its a huge blower) not cause you to loose any power
the biggest problem you face is bonnet clerance once the adaptor plate is made and engine managment if you dont have it sorted already
are you aware that the buick has a map sensor (pressure sensor) that is incapable of reading boost? so unless you get aftermarket managment and a 3 or 4 BAR map sensor (2jz-gte MAP sensor for example) the ECU wont realize its getting positive pressure and will lean out and explode?
