No, you can't just bolt it on. You need a new twin-path harmonic balancer, engine accessory brackets, wiring harness, PCM, transmission, and some internal engine parts. Even the pistons, rods, and Camshaft are different.
The Series 1 L67 is a much different beast than the L27 in your car.
The most cost-effective method is to sell your SSE and buy an SSEi outright.
Next would be a full drivetrain swap including wiring harness, PCM, engine, and trans.
Last would be what you propose.
Excerpts from a Bonneville sales brochure:
L27 (your engine):
L67:
And that doesn't even BEGIN to touch on all the other differences like transaxle, gear ratio, engine mounts, etc.

If you wanted to go though that work. I would swap in a series II supercharged rather then convert series I to supercharged. Plus I beleve a supercharge series I prodouce about 205 hp.A super supercharge series II I think produce about 230-245hp.Their is more mod potetion in series Ii.But if was me I would just go out buy supercharge bonneville though. I have seen 96 supercharged bonneville around gr go for 2000 about 4500. You could looking into adding turbo, but of course anytime you add more power I would worry about the tranny I though only supercharge bonneville have hd tranny.
