Default Intake on a Trailblazer SS

Is the intake height on the Trailblazer SS LS2 the same as on the GTO? I am contemplating a swap into an 84 G-body and want to maintain the stock hood lines, but I heard the Trailblazer intake may be similar to other truck intakes which are too high.

Any help would be appreciated.
Regards.

It is a truck manifold (higher)and doesn't have a LS2 intake (lower) if thats what your asking. The only plug and play replacement is the FAST LSXrt manifold that I have seen. The waterpump comes up too high for the LS2 manifold to clear. In theory you could just put a GTO/Vette waterpump on and get away with using a LS2 intake, but it won't clear without doing something about the waterpump fella.

The TBSS LS2s where rated at 395hp instead of 400hp because of the intake, but is the same longblock so you could just put a different accessory drive on the from of the motor and be fine.
