correct......your changing the head of the block....and the supercharger bolts to the head. Now that you have a b16 head...you need a b16 charger

Bump

I need to know this question as well. 98 LS bottom with 2000 B16 SI head. Will a Type-R kit bolt up? Is the Si kit a M62 blower?

Maybe I should call LHT.....

Thanks.

So, do I need a Type-R kit or SI? I'm just not sure about the pulley and head configuration.

Clarification would be much appreciated.

A Type-R kit would give you the right belt, since the B18's sit the head ~8mm higher. They might all come with the same belt though, since the tensioner has lots of adjustment.
