You could, but it would be difficult and require a lot of custom parts.

The 3.1 and 3.8 are totally different engine families.

Re: is this supercharger possible....seriously

the t-bird m90 is a yes...

There is a coupld people that have installed a t-bird m90 in a fiero so obviously it will have room in a f-body. The M90 is a awsome supercharger and has the Potential to blow your engine being that a M90 can produce 20psi with out damage to the supercharger but the 60v6 may not take it. I have a M90 from a t-bird and I have played with the placement in a v6 firebird and there are tons of options and keeping the AC as long as you have a welder and can get your measurements right. Though I gave up on a boosted 60v6 because it is more cost efficient to go hybrid 3.4/w 3500 top end and stock 3.4 pistons for 11-11.5 cr and about 300-340hp. I will be using the supercharger on a 3.8 for my monza and adding another m90 for a drag beast.

Re: is this supercharger possible....seriously

the cobalt supercharger is an m62 and is to small.

the tgp's had a t25 turbo and made 205 hp with a turbo that was way to small

the m90 is the easiest option for mounting and installing over a turbo.
and yes the motor can take it
