Sure, it takes some custom fab work.. There was a guy that put a m90 on a FC awhile back with said fab work.. Some highschool kid, but he seemed to know his stuff.
Don't remember his name, but I thought it was very clever..
All he did was mount the SC someplace, make an adapter plate to convert the manifold side to a pipe fitting, then ran it to his TB, IIRC.. I think he used one of the old pulleys somehow but I can't remember..

I can't stress enough to address your cooling system if you go with a supercharger. I always wanted one, finally bought a Camden setup, sold it 4 months later and don't regret it. If you're wanting boost for low $$$, buy a ssautochrome turbo setup off of ebay, just don't count on the quality of everything.

That SC should be a bit overkill, but pefectly doable...
The Atkins kits are solid, if not the best SC on the market.
I recomend Eaton supecharders. I'm goint with an M62 or M90 fo my kit... should be underway by this time next year...
They don't need any oil lines and are some of the most efficient, plus have HIGH reliablillity (there's a reason Eaton supplies over 80% of the OEM supecharger market)
A supecharger setup runs cooler than a non-intercooled turbo, but it's still pretty warm
I'm going to be intercooling mine to help keep temps down. Plus a new e-fan. And a Rotohead.ca vented hood....
My kit is going to fairly elaborate, but they can be fairly simple too.
PM or e-mail me if you have any questions, as I've been working on this quite a while

orsm.. thanks for all the input
just checking my options for the moment, still dont knwo if ill go down turno or s/c... but the s/c sounds mighty tempting.
another Q;
draw-thru setups, are they as bad as everyone makes them out to be?
and would the badness of it outweight the extra cost of havving to boost prep a carb?

I'm in the process of putting a supercharged 13B into my '85 GS. You should talk to Code Blue 2. I've been chatting with him off and on, and he keeps telling my how much I'm going to love this setup. He's quite happy with his.

If I am not mistaken, draw through setups are somewhat dangerous, comparitavely speaking, at least. They draw fuel through the carb and then into the turbo, as opposed to simply pushing air into the carb. You'll be okay as long as you don't use an intercooler. That's like a bomb waiting to go off.
