16V Supercharger setup!

Might as well get a proper PG engine to start with. Already comes with the
reinforced block, better cooling passages, sodium-filled exhaust valves,
piston oil squirters, dished (though cast) pistons, digifant injector seats,
etc. Not to mention the bracketry, serpentine drive pullies, and everything
else for the supercharger. You might also find it complete with the Digifant
I ECU, which is a pretty damn good ECU.

But if for some reason you can find everything except the PG block and head,
yes, it can be done. The supercharger brackets supposedly bolt on to
existing points. Of course, I can modify a screwdriver to pound nails better
than a stock screwdriver, but in the end it's still just a screwdriver...
