I was researching bonneville superchargers and found the 1991-1995 had the eaton M62 on it. Hmm, wondering if it would fit?? Cheap supercharger if it does.

You would need an adapter manifold for the intake and the M62 on a Bonneville has a rear exiting throttle body, it would hit our firewalls.

The Alpine unit came with an MP62 and it also existed to the rear:

M62's are uber cheap on flea-bay. Found several about this time last year between 195 and 300 when I was going s/c on a 240sx. Schwing!

I know it exits the rear, but they replace the end with a piece that curls up and putsthe throttle body off to the side. Here is what he is talking about:
See what I mean? Compared to this one (which is very similar to the one in the Alpine kit)
It has the removable rear cover so you can have the adapter plate for the throttle body. The M62 and M90's off Grand Prixs and Bonneville's and what not aren't the same. Same model number, different casing. I looked into this same thing but using an M90 on a 3800 swap I was planning for my Rodeo. I planned on sourcing an M90 off an holden from australia because the 3800 came in RWD and they used a different casing with the adapter. You could also use a later model one with the removable rear housing and fab up an adapter plate but just grabbing one off an early Bonneville won't work.

Well that just blew that idea out of the water. I love the knowledge you guy's have. Thanks for the reply!!

No problem. There are still options but the main hurdle is the intake adapter that allows the blower to actually bolt to our engines. If you had that then setting one up using the right parts wouldn't be too hard and getting crank/idler pulleys made is something any cnc shop could do or you could "rig" up using stock parts. I believe someone is coming out with the "alpine" kit again. Someone over on the Planet has been working on this for sometime now:
