Damn thats gonna be tight as hell,if it does fit you would defiantly have to go with custom or shortie headers...good luck man...sounds like this could get very interesting. Good Luck

"can't see the plenumn fitting under a stock LT1 hood"

Or the cowl or windshield, Have to weld the headers up in the car, and hope you never need to take em out.

you have to notch the cowl, in order to drop in a distributor for a big block.

I have seen it done, there is a black lt1 style camaro around florida with a 502 in it.
