Roots? Centrifical? EFI? Carb? Stock heads? Cam? Stock bottom end? All these things will matter. If all you want is cheap power, look into a 150 shot of nos....

Some opinion from experience.
If your truck still has V belts, you would need to change over to serpintine belt equippage first.
Next the lower intake would have to be changed to a later 5L EFI intake.
Next, a Kenne Bell 1500 size blower could be bolted up but I don't know what all you would need to get the belt drive and blower support needed.
Next, you would need an FMU controller to raise the fuel pressure when in boosted condition.
There is a vacuum switch assembly that must be used to keep boost from the MAP sensor because the MAP won't take + pressure on Speed Density controlled engines.
It takes some understanding of what all is needed and some info.
I run such a blower on SD 5L for close to 6 years now but did not have the belt drive changes to deal with.
If you could pull it off, it's one hell of a load of torque right from about 1800 rpm at about 5 to 7 lbs of boost depending on drive pulley sizes and ratios.
