Had the standard VFN Sunoco hood with an LS1 lid. Required little bit of cutting though. Not sure if the wide would be any different, being that I don't think it is actually wider, but just longer/taller (extends to windshield). I could be wrong...

It did not need to be cut that much, I kind of went to town on it since I wasn't sure exactly where it was hitting. It turned out to just be one small spot on each side. I don't blame you for not wanting to cut it. I cringed when I did it...

I think it depends on the base and how far you slide the radiator towards the engine, slide it forward and use a stock Z28 lower box and trim it enough i bet you could get away without trimming.

Butch - The VFN sunoco (regular will not fit and will need to be cut 100%. I have one and I had to cut it pretty good. However, without LS1 lid, it fits fine. I also have the SLP lid and I never got it to sit quite right.
I think that harwood that has the wide cowl could fit a lot better. If you can wait a few months, be happy to let you try it all out and bolt it on and see if it works.
