but the supercharger will. since the supercharger will sit ontop were the intake manifold is the dod system is underneith. since you will need to use an ls6 superchager you will have to make many modifications to the system to make it work.
Not necessarily- a CSCwould not sit on top of the intake manifold.

Also, if you wanted to stick with a positive displacement blower- you could remote mount it (used to be a 3100 kit like that- where it dumped into a plenum, and then was piped into the stock TB)- or you could make a custom upper intake manifold (and need a bigger hood, or hole in the hood like that 3.4 dohc monte).

looking at upwards of 8000 bucks.(superhcarger 10000)
$8k for a turbo kit sounds awfully steep- why couldn't you block the downpipe connection off, and just have a custom crossover made with a turbo mount like the 3800s do? I'm sure even if you had to have someone custom fab the new crossover pipe and your new exhaust downpipe setup- you could do it for under $8k unless you're talking about doing a really expensive turbo.

yes- lots of work, about the same as a head gasket change- search for 'top swap' on here and you should find all the info you need

For a company to source all the parts for you, $900 + gaskets & fluids:

www.wbodystore.com (under superchargers)

For you to source the stuff yourself- the parts can run ~$500 or so depending on what you can find.

Top Swap for sale

SSM90 Kit for sale

And another top swap for sale

These are for sale literally every other day.
Top swaps generally go for about $500 depending on the mileage of the supercharger and heads.
