Default 1998 possible 3.8l supercharged swap?

Hey guys got a 1998 3.8l II. I head of an idea of a buick century 3.8 supercharged engine being put into a car like mine. my question is if it's possible due to the fact that in intake to the superchager is on the back side? and if possible if anyone who knows the best place to get an engine like that?

I used to own a 3.8 firebird. i wasted all kinds of time trying to make it fast. i dumped a crap load of money into it just to try to keep up with stock LT1s then i said forget it and got my 98 z28 and never looked back. the best thing you can do is save for a v8 model and enjoy yours for the time being

Exactly! I couldn't have said it better myself.

If you want to hack up your car and the supercharger to make it barely fit...go for it. It can be done but it will look like crap and wont improve the car's performance much at all.

For that money get a good intake and exhaust if you intend to keep your sixer.
