As far as kits are concerned, I think you are pretty much on your own. You MAY be able to adapt a kit for a TPI, but be aware that the accessories on the front of the L83 are laid out differently than the L98. Forum member, Joby, has done a blower install on his '84, but he had to make some pretty sophisticated parts. Look him up. He may be able to advise you.

RACE ON!!!

If I remember correctly a member of this forum has a supercharger on his '84. I believe his handle is JoBy.

Try doing a Google search for the words Crossfire Forum Corvette. I believe there is a Forum out there for these engines but cannot remember the exact net address.

You are right. I forgot to capitalize the "B" in Jonas Bylund's screen name. JoBy lives in Sweden. His supercharger is a Vortech. He is a very clever and talented individual.

RACE ON!!!
