Yes you can. Someone did it already do a search. IMHO you would be better off with swapping something in with strong N/A power since everything that makes your l03 suck N/A (heads cam and TB) will make suck with a SC.

You will get more power on a lo3 with nitrous. Most people who supercharge lo3s are very dissapointed.

heh, swap a set of stock 350 heads on to it (it will lower compression about a point), maybe a stock LT1 cam (or L98 with 1.6rr's) and then force all the air into it you want.

what I think would be pretty trick would be one of the smaller roots blowers (140/144/177) with an adaptor plate for the stock TB, of course, that won't clear the stock hood.

you know, even swapping heads and cam, if you get good prices for used parts, that with the roots blower will be cheaper then your average vortech/ati/paxton setup, less hassle and more unique

You could just about use any roots blower. Just run a carb to TBI adapter.
