If i found a supercharger from an l67 3.8L is that a direct bolt on with minor modifications or is there a hole heap involved? that'll give it a bit more grunt just need to know if it's a direct bolt

No, the heads are different.
The L36 is running a compression ratio of 9.4:1 as opposed to the l67's of 8.5:1, you'd need an intercooler to get any amount of boost without knocking even if you swapped the heads (lots of things are different).

And pretty sure the actual tune is different too. Easiest to just get a whole donor car for that one and install the whole lot.
