Wouldn't you need a new underdrive pulley as well for the two belts? 
Use a CSC or Turbo before that. But if someone could come up with a nice custom intercooler that fits bewteen a stock N/A manifold, and an M90/112/62 i'd like that

wow, sounds like a lot of expensive work for something that can be done better for cheaper. You mentioned L67s used forged rods and pistons, what stock psi does a L67 run at? I think he could run a supercharger at 6psi on cast internals and be fine?

With the 9.4 to 1 compression wouldn't you have to have an intercooler, or could you just drop the boost? For the cost of doing this wouldn't it be cheaper to get an L67 from a wrecker?

harder part of super/turbocharging, is the PCM upgrades and fuel system.

Gotta show love for the L27!!
So the L36 got a totally new head design, higher compression, and higher rev line, but only got 5 more ft/lb out of it? I know the Higher RPM and higher torque peak gave more HP....
