Sounds like some sort of rear or mid mount turbo system would work out well.
Just assuming engine compartment space is tight. Maybe not.
Whipple had a side mount charger back in the day.

talk to xx_Ed_xx
he dropped a turbo 496 in his 04 (i think a rear-mount) & has a few extra 8.1 sitting around that he's built front-mounts for.
