The 3.8L supercharged bottom ends were heavier to take the added boost from the supercharger so unless you have the whole motor or want to spend the money on building your bottom end beefier i wouldn't advise it. That and the throttle body would be facing backwards so you would have to make sure you have clearance for that and the air duct to feed it. I have seen in a magazine somewhere that they turned the supercharger around somehow and then rigged up a jack shaft and a short belt to turn it. That way the throttle body was facing forward again. If you are thinking of a supercharger it might be worth looking into an aftermarket. The factory superchargers can be used but to me i think it would be less headaches to use aftermarket.
