The space between the front of the motor and the fire wall is to short to allow a pulley from the nose of the crankshaft top the blower.
There is also no space between the rear of the motor and the transmission to put a pulley.
So the problem is how to spin the centrifugal charger by engine power.
You could do it electrically, and add 50-100 HP of load at the alternator--which it is not designed to deal with.
