Can a Eaton M90 or M67 bolt on to a 87 TR engine (8445 Heads & 109 block). Messing with the idea/daydream of a supercharger in addition to the turbo

SignUp Now!I know it was avery honest question.
And I would have no idea if it could be done so have no opinion there.
Although, since I hear they landed spacecraft on Mars, I'm gussing you could find a way to bolt on a sueprcharger to a Buick Regal motor.
But - I dunno.
The secret sauce is the LC2 Engine.
LC2 in it's SFI Turbocharged configuration.
It only took most manufacturers 25 years to create as much power; albeit most of them do it with hemi this and hemi that, and cubic inches.
The LC2 is what makes these cars so special.
It's an amazing powerplant, with one turbo.
In its day and today.
The Cobras and the Vettes all still need to add on $5000 worth of supercharger just to keep pace.
And sadly, the LC2 lives no more, so I'm sort of a tradionalist there.
I like paying tribute to it by keeping it in it's more basic form.
But hey - at least it wasn't asking about putting a LT this or LS that in it.
That's sacrilidge!
And as nice as the L67 Supercharged powerplant is, it's "not a Turbo"
Which would then require re-badging everything..
And those hood liners are too expensive!

I love the days of wreched excess. I bet that car ran like poop especially for the money involved but it sure was cool to look at. I still have that issue of Hot Rod. I love looking at his creations. Very creative guy.
His Nova was a 10 second ride with the same type of induction.I love the days of wreched excess. I bet that car ran like poop especially for the money involved but it sure was cool to look at. I still have that issue of Hot Rod. I love looking at his creations. Very creative guy.
Whatever happened to Rick Dobbertin and Mark Grimes? They were building some of the nicest Extreme rides back in the days..

Wait the same guy who built that J2000 is the same guy who made that amphibious POS that crossed the ocean out of a milk tanker that I saw on discovery channel a few years back?! Wow.....Dobbertin made a submarine/offroad truck thing out of a stainless steel tanker trailer and took it around the world... think he sold the J2000 long ago due to divorce or something..
