Will a magnacharged LS fit under the hood of a 1991 Trans-Am?
Hey guys. I'm making a decision on what engine set up to run in my 1991 Trans-Am. Ideally, I want to run a magncharged LS. Will it fit under the stock hood? Will I need a k member that lowers the engine down to make it work?

I think the TVS1900 will with proper parts selection, but the TVS2300 not sure.
This thread covers a lot of OEM combos, not sure whether it touches on the Magnacharger or not.

On top of that, I would like it to fit it under the DSE engine brace. Do any of the aftermarket K members drop the engine down a couple of inches?

The hood is the problem with the DSE brace, the Firebird hood doesn't fit over the DSE STB
The Firebird hood is the problem over other STBs too

My QA1 STB doesn't fit under the Firebird hood. punkmaster got the DSE STB and it didn't fit and I have read posts from DSE on Facebook where they confirmed.
Call DSE and ask, maybe they have re-designed it to work, I don't know.
Not sure why people are so adverse to picking up a phone. Why ask me if I am sure? I am not posting you f you over or lie to you. I posted what I know. Unless DSE posts to confirm on your post it is all going to be hearsay if you don't believe me.
