Vette manifs might require notching the frame. if you use 98-00 camaro manifs, no notch required. also cheaper.
i would bould it, get it running, then upgrade the cam and springs to 'vette Z06 cam and springs. i know someone who can get them mildly used for cheap. this is a really really nice upgrade for very few bucks and the HP increase is something in the 35-50HP range on an LS1, not sure about a 5.3, not sure why or how it would be diff't.
