Default Fox Stang LS motor guys...how much room to hood, and what accesories?

I'm thinking of using a truck 6.0 because of the abundancy, extra CI, and the aluminum 6.0 heads.
How much room is there, I know the truck manifolds are taller, but they also limit RPM no? What about accessory space in the Fox bay? I want to keep PS and AC, and am willing to use the 4.6 K member for the oil pan sake.
THANKS GUYS!!

Use the 6.0 with an LS2 intake and LS1 accessories. Voila!

Well, I figured if teh truck intake was too tal, LS1 intakes go for like #50 or less all day long. I'm just checking my options, and going for the most cost effective set-up. Anything LSx will haul serious *** ina Fox. I'm slwoly getting parts for the lil 85 4eye!
If you know of anywhere I can get a cheap 4.6 K memeber, CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP, LMK. I'm on the look out for 94-95 spindles now, thanks to your link!

The absolute best place to get both the spindles and k-member will be Ebay or the classifieds on http://www.corral.net

I figured, I just don't know what is a fair price, and what is a cheap price. Thanks again for all your help. Still debating LS1 or all out 2.3T. I like the LS1 idea cuz it cool, efficient, and not very common. Oh yeah, and I don't like Ford, but the 2.3T can be done slowly, in stages. Decisions, decisions...

$75 is cheap for spindles, $150 is cheap for a tubular K-member. I don't think you can use a stock K-member (not even a 4.6 one) but I could be very wrong.
