Default SBC low profile superchargers

I have been looking for a low profile supercharger to fit on a SBC that is low enough to fit under a 1st gen Camaro hood without any cutting. The last thing I want is one of those big ugly 6-71 style blowers sticking out of a hole in the hood. I would turbocharge before that.

Yes, my painter has a 144 on a sbc, in a truck he built. It's a cute little blower, but he says it picked the engine up a good bit power-wise.

Why not just get a centrifugal like a Vortech or Procharger? They make great power.

I have a Vortech setup under my hood with zero fitment issues. I have a spare kit sitting if you're interested send me a PM.

Can you adapt an OEM supercharger like off an 03/04 Cobra? Might be a lot of work but I think it would be worth the payoff. There's also the slim possibility that you could luck into an SBC Magnacharger. They did make them for a while. No idea how many were ever sold though.
