Truck LS + Vortech Supercharger + Truck Bracket

Hello, I came into possession of a V3-Si with a air/water intercooler and was looking at the truck supercharger mount online. It looks kind of high...

Heres an example of how it sits, this appears to be an LS1 intake though.

Does anybody have an LS in their car with a Vortech supercharger using the truck mounting bracket. If so, does it fit under the hood?

I might try to do something with one of these...

Giving it the eyeball test I say no way is that going to fit under the hood.


If I already had the supercharger I would probably just look at the regular LS1 mount and associated hardware, unless you're dead set on building a custom bracket.

not going to fit. My stock truck 5.3 motor with supercharger uses a GTO car style bracket to get it low enough.
