Hey Lou,
I was planning exactly the same thing. That's how I originally started looking for Martin equipment. I had a P600b that I wanted to use the the intake for a SBC. In my original search, I found a bunch of intakes...but all for chevy's. As you probably already know, there were about 3 basic styles. A "low profile" style where the turbo was perpendicular to the engine. The second style had the turbo "twisted" on the exhaust manifold (which was perfect for the setup you described for a centrafugul supercharger due to the large "twisted" intake tub). The last was a remote mount turbo that fit further down on the exhaust pipe. These had a different top section where the inlet and outlet tubes were cast into the top plate. Also not bad for the supercharger, but the tubes point near the firewall instead of toward the radiator. Would need some fancy tube work. I have all three styles, but again for chevy. I even heard that Martin started offering a special intake just for what you described that pointed the inlet and outlet tubes toward the front of the engine to connect into the supercharger, although I have not been able to confirm that.
You know, if you find one for a chrysler that would be cool...but if it is too much trouble (and probably cost prohibitive), you could use the hat. Ya, I know, you have to modify the carb (and I don't like the idea of pressuring my carb), but it may be easier than trying to find or make such a scarce part. I'd be interested in your success. I'll keep my eyes out also. Let me know if you need info on carb mods if you go that route or if you need some parts for a custom fabrication.
