You can buy the CPP sheet metal engine perches and stock location LS adapter plate that way you can use TBSS, Camaro or Truck exhaust manifolds and just about any headers out there without any interference issues.
I have been down this road with mine and you will save yourself major headaches by going that route.
I would be happy to answer any questions you have on exactly what stuff to buy if you need me to.

I saw a post where a guy trimmed about an inch or 1 1/2" out of the frame rail with no problem. I was going to try to go that route. I think with the cross member bolted directly under the rail, it wont be a big issue. I have also seen where they heated the frame rail and bent it. That would be an option too.
