Yes you can however you are going to need a lot more than just the supercharger. Its called a top swap so do a search on that there are tons of threads out there.

You'll need all of this off a L67 supercharged 3800 (I'm probably forgetting stuff too)

Heads
Lower Intake
Throttlebody
Fuel rail
Injectors
Crank pulley
Idler and tensioner pulley for the SC belt

Then you'll need gaskets and fluids to complete the swap. This is also a good time to do other upgrades while you have the engine apart like headers, rockers or a cam, etc. This will really help reduce KR.

You may need injector connectors depending on what your car has. I needed them on my 2002. You'll want to run a colder tstat and colder plugs, and you'll need your PCM tuned.

I'd say its worth it for sure if you want to do a build other than a turbo. My only regret was I didn't do a cam and heads at the same time.

You'll get about 50hp at the crank. So you'll be around 250hp or 200hp at the wheels. Its a noticeable difference, but like I said before do some other exhaust/valve train mods while you're there.
