best thing to do to start with is to look at the underside (compare pics) and hopefully somebody else will chime in to give you some more insight cuz I certainly cant help with my worthless post here.

what hes saying is that hes gonna but a maggie LS1 in his LT1 platform T/A
Im gonna say that the clearances are the same between a 98-02 WS6 with a maggie and a 93-97 WS6 with a maggie LS1. I say this because they are on the same platform obviously and you can do front end swaps between the two and the body lines still match up to where they were. For instance where the front quarters match up at the bottom of the windshield...same spot. The only possible difference I would see would be in the actual hoods, that the under side of the LT1 style hood is lower underneath. But after a quick look at both I believe they are similar.
hope this helps

If your looking into a Maggie you shouldn't be worried about the Hood you should be worried about the cowl. In any case I believe there is a kit to do this now but it requires putting spacers between the engine cradle and the unibody to gain clearence below the cowl.
