If you can fabricate brackets, you can supercharge ANYTHING. The only problem
you would have is the fuel requirement. I would say the easiest way to handle
it is with an in-line auxillary fuel pump and a fuel injector in the intake
tube between the SC and the TB. Rigged with a pressure switch to come on at 2
or 3 psi, it will inject extra fuel to the mix. Abeercan@aol.com (the guy
with the 408 blown dakota...sorry I can't recall his name) did a similiar
setup. You may wanna check him out.
I don't know what the TB for a premagger in comparision to a mag looks
like, you may have to come up with an air hat. You;ll need to check into that
before you commit yourself.
Good luck
PS If you put magnum heads on the block, the intake manifold will fit just
fine :-)
