you know that they make superchargers that are kinda infront of the engine and off to one side. this wouldnt have to stick out of the hood

Well, a turbo muscle car, your gonna have to eliminate the carb and make a custom intake manifold and a fuel rail, but that's only if you want to keep it "realistic", it can be done, I've seen a few twin turbine powered muscle cars, send me a pm if you need ideas on how to go about it. Good luck. :D

As for the front bumper, use sheet metal and make a 69' Camaro style air scoop.
