I fit just fine with my TH350...had to move forward about a 1 inch.... and lower my factory steering just slightly...M biggest problem is hood clearance. So I am gong to need a Cowl hood or L88 HOOD to clear.

I used factory Z06 Manifolds.... the F-body units did not fit...though they fit on people with T56 6speeds... must be the spacing. I am using all F-body belts and puleys...no issues here... But I am not running AC at the moment.

your side pipes would need to be custom fit....

LS1 = O_O_O_O
SBC= O__OO__O

LS6 and LS1 have aluminum blocks...
