I don't think so. The Camaro one spins one way and the Corvette one spins the other way. It has to do with the belt routing and the sc placement.

in the end it wouldn't be worth it even if you could. I'd buy a kit made for the lt1. It'll cost you less in the long run.

The only possible way would be to modify or redesign a carroll supercharging bracket (blowerworks.net). I don't even know how realistic that is.

If you want a challenge, you've got one there. My vortech ysi setup isn't as much of a challenge as this idea and I still had to fabricate and modify stuff.

camaro or firebird is going to be the same,like quick said will cost more in the long run,plus the powerdyne only has 4to5 lbs boost so its not really worth it,just MHO.
