Default FI on a van?

Well looks like we're getting another van for the family business and that leaves our old 03 6.0 4l80e van to play with. I doubt it will get driven much, but I think it would be a fun vehicle to mod. So does anyone know if a supercharger can fit in there? Its tight, and I thought maybe a procharger would, but don't know the dimensions of one. I know a front mount wont, but we were looking around and think we could fab up a rear mount turbo. Anybody ever seen a van done up? Any suggestions? Its got roughly 250,000 miles on it btw.

Thats awesome! Definatly go for it. Im sure an STS Turbo kit will bolt right up! 250k on the clock should be no problem if its in good running shape now. Maybe redo the heads when you do the z06 cam. If you haven't already switch her over to synthetics and run it until it dies. If it does....6.0l time.

While a turbo is freaking awesome, I'm not sure I have the skills to fab up the hot pipes. Does anyone know if a procharger would fit under the van hood?
