clearance issues with aftermarket intake manifold

I just came across a 350 vortec out of a 98 2500 chevy pick up. I plan on putting that into my 83 camaro. Would an aftermarket edelbrock intake fit underneath a stock hood? I've got the z28 hood, and i think they have less clearance then others, please help out. Also will my headers from my 305 bolt up to the vortec heads?

Thanks!

Re: clearance issues with aftermarket intake manifold

depending on what intake your want. if you want an intake with a higher rise plen. or isolated intake runner. you will most likely need a cowl hood. for any regular replacement intakes you should be find. i have a gm performance alum. intake on my car. and it bearly fits. but that is with a one inch plate for the carb. i have on it.

Edelbrock Performer RPM, Holley carb, drop base air cleaner will all fit under a stock hood.

Your headers will fit Vortec heads.
