We went through 3 sets of headers before we were even close and still had to "make" some clearance for the shaft for a Tbird rack

Re: m2 suspension ls 5.3 exhaust question

The SUVs that had 5.3s had manifolds that hug pretty tight to the block. Might give them a look. I'm using a S10 frame, so you have different issues than me, but with the block pushed to the passenger's side slightly, I won't need any modifications.
