The only way to get it to fit would be to swap your NPI heads for PI ones and get a TorkTech Terminator GT kit.

Thats not a bad deal on the eaton. For the ammount of fabrication or purchase of fabricated parts to make it work....it's definately not worth it. It's been done....but for a stock eaton.... why? You would be better off saving and buying an actual kit or getting a blower like a vortech or procharger and building you own kit.

no offence, but its quite abit cheaper to do a tork tech termi kit than a kb. ive seen them done for 4500 counting everything plus you get to choose what parts you run except whats in the kit. a kb will be over 6000. another thing, 450rwhp is about all the stock interals will handle. the cheapest will be a vortech but power wont come on til 3000+ rpms. intercooled vortechs can be done for 2500-3000. and for the ones saying the tork teck wont make power:

Someone on here used Torktech, hopefully they will chime in. They did an entire write up too. Do a search and you should probably find it.

Yes it's cheaper, but a 2.1L I/C KB is $5K, not 6. It's a pretty easy install that will take about a day to perform, with the only fab work being drilling holes for the intercooler mounts and shaving a little off of the alternator for clearance. Plus you'll be getting a bigger supercharger that's more efficient and can make more power.

$400 is not a great deal by anymeans. That's very middle of the road for a stock Eaton.
I've seen them go as low as $250 in good shape.

The KB is a joke for the money you invest compared to the TT set up (especially when used on an otherwise stock motor).

If you really are set on an Eaton blower - find one of the old Roush/SVO M112 set ups for the 96-98 cars. They make plenty of hp/tq and make for a fun street car.
