Question Scooper-charger?

I made a pun!
Well anyways, I have the chance to buy a supercharger off of a Thunderbird SuperCoupe.
Now for the question:
Will it fit on a GTP intake manifold?
(I'm slowly working on a top-swap)

Im gonna say no. Even if it did, the inlet is not in the same place as the M90 on the L67.

Not only will it not fit, but it is also an unbelievable piece of crap.
Basically, the only thing it has in common with ours is the displacement.
The intake pattern is completely different. It draws in at the rear, outputs out the TOP, routes air to an intercooler, then to a LIM plate under the charger. Completely different, completely incompatible, and it's also an older, less efficient rotor design.

Ed morad can set you up with all the hard parts for a top swap. Iirc he charges roughly $1000 for all the hard parts minus gaskets.
