it might need a few minor modifications. call Vortech S/C and ask them yourself. if the price is less than that 4100 from summit then i say the hell with it..TRY IT.

My guess is there will be a lot of modification to make it fit. The supercharger itself will work, but things like mounting points, brackets and pulleys are going to be at least a little different from Gen 3 to Gen 4 engines.

how so? the Alt/powersteering is the same as the gen 3/4 same with crank pulley. the heads will swap over too. i think the whole bracket set up and s/c set up with work, but not the piping. all i can say is if it's a descent price (cheaper than 4k) then buy it and do whatever you have to do to make it work. or just build a front mount turbo

i think..

bracket should fit.
oil lines too...
the SC - TB piping too...

need some work on the intake - sc piping..

and some custom tuning...

does the belt should be the same?..

i dont see why it wont work, like i said other than the intake piping it's basically a direct fit.
