Default 6.0 first Gen question

i know you guys have been around this question for awhile so please indulge me i just have a couple of quick questions

will a 6.0 fit under a SS hood with stock intake and alt w/ truck accessories?

will a 4l60e fit a 6.0 (something about the back of the crank?)

will a 4l80e fit a camaro without hacking away at the trans tunnel?

Thanks for your time-Chris

not sure on 6.0, but 5.3 has an intake that's too tall for flat hood. also alternator in stock location is too high to clear hood.

No, Yes, and most likely some modification will be needed depending on how the engine is mounted.

6.0 intake is definitely too tall, plus it kind of sucks flow wise. Get an 02 and up stock ls1/ls6 intake, it will bolt right on and make more power. Just convert over to F body accessories too, it will be a lot easier in the long run. (Alt won't clear)
