Default S10 guys....is there room

I've got an 01 s10 I'm wanting to do a ls1 swap in. Anyone have a KB or Whipple on their s10 swap? Or know if it's possible? I've never seen a swapped truck in person so I didn't know if there was room for a roots style setup. Thanks

Should be plenty of room. I've swapped a few 5.3's with tall truck intakes that fit under the stock hood. Tightest spot is right past the throttle body. Thats if your using 2.8 v6 frame mounts with LSx swap plates.
