Default ERL 500ci in F-Body. FITMENT & HEADERS

My friend is thinking about getting 500ci for his 98' Z/28 M6

His car has manual steering rack and EWP, so no concern about belt length since he is using BMR alterator bracket

Are there any fitment issues by adding ~ 0.8" with cowl ??
Are there any 2" headers out there to fit this engine in fbody ?
We would like to do it without k-member drop spacers if possible

Thanx

I'm sure there will be some custom modifications with the taller deck block in any vehicle. I have personally seen a ERL 500 in a C5 with a LS7 intake on it clear the stock hood. The motor mounts were custom but the car was able to retain all the stock features. AC,PS,CC... It was a very tight fit but it got in there. Hope this helps.

I want to say Loius at LG did this in his Camaro a few years back. I belief ERL's 500 isn't a taller deck block. As for headers Kooks makes a 2" that should work.

ERL's 500 is a Tall Deck Block. It is almost 1" taller than a Stock Deck Height Block. 100% sure.
