I read about somebody doing it on a TR6 in British Car mag. But the TR
head is a cross flow head and it was a simple bolt on. I don't think
it's possible to do on the Alpine head because the supercharger has to
mount underneath the carbs. There would be major clearance problems
with the exhaust manifold being there. Also, the alternator pulley
would be very close to where the supercharger pulley would have to be
and the adjustment bracket for same would interfere. I just don't see
it being practical.
