I had to notch on the passenger side a little, it was tapping it when the car was running.

mine are stepped to 2" so there alil bigger but i had to notch and raise the engine about 5 inches just to get mine in. it was a small notch though, and not part of the structural integrity.

I installed a set with a friend on his 98 Z28 with a 402, and we did not notch anything. We did have a slight issue with a tab on the block. That could have been removed to make it easier, but we managed to force in into place past the tab.

I have the stepped to 2" version and I ground on the k member in the places I knew they would contact. But after getting them installed they are actually not even that close to touching. I think I could of been fine without grinding anything. Oh but I did have to pull the driver side motor mount to get that big SOB in...
