Default LT 2 manifold on the C7

This is a request for an update on any success installing the LT 2 manifold on a C7. Someone posted a short video in the past of a C7 running with the LT 2 installed but no details on clearancing the firewall for the install. There are rumors that the MSD 2700 has hood clearance issues also. Please post info pictures dyno etc if you have experience in this area.

No info in the LT2 manifold but ... why not just get your LT1 manifold ported .......

MSD fits fine, even with my catch can setup. I'm a little under 570 to the wheels.

Thanks for the picture posted I assume no hood clearance issues. How about the back bolts into the block? I can see that you are not E85 I am what are your mods?

Everything fits fine under the hood. Even still has the hood liner installed.

As far as mods, it's easier to list what isn't different....block, pan, and rotating assembly.

Given how I use the car, if something was going to rub I'd know about it given the temp and vibration environment it sees...
