Na actually both the Z31 and Z32 engine bays are quite big, the LS1 takes up less room then the stock VG30 does...

vg's are quite large and if u have a tt they r a real pia to work on. ls1 should have no problem. the biggest concern for most is the trans tunnel and firewall near the tunnel. goodluck, i love z32s.
