    None specific to your engine.
    It would be a custom install.
    There are 3 types to consider. The positive displacement, centrifigal and turbo charger.
    For your use it would be either a centrifigal or a turbo. Both would need engineering to get everything mounted and worked out. Then I would not run over 5 lbs of boost into that engine in stock form.
    There is a lot to know about supercharging if the hardware your working with is not a worked-out kit aready.
    For example, trying to blow into a carb requires a sealed box and a recalibrated carb so the air/fuel ratio goes rich under boost or there becomes a combustion problem. So it gets a little complex without going into a lot of other things.
    See my sig.
