Well your corvette had a double hump hood cowl and this is made for a relatively flat side to side installation. It will probably not sit right on it. You also need to consider the front to rear curvatures if your hood compared to a Camaro Hood. How far back were you going to place it on the hood? All the way back to the back edge? Also the water drainage you need to consider.

You may want to consider hex vents I am sure you could get them to work.

I'm fine with working out those small problems, that's why I need the measurements so I can find out if it will fit back too far. I mainly want the extractor in front of the engine.

I would go out and measure mine but it's under a blanket if snow and it's 10F outside.

Just in front of the scoop openings, it's about 21-7/16" wide. About 6" from the rear of the insert, it's about 23-3/4" wide. About 40-1/2" long from front point to the back.

All measurements done by my wife's super-accurate (yeah, right) cloth sewing measuring tape and thus listed as approximate. But this should give you an idea.

Are you sure it will apply downforce? GM spent a lot of money and man hours in the wind tunnel to get this system to work on the ZL1. No doubt it will look cool, though. Good luck with the project.

I just measured the cowl on my C4 and it should fit just about perfect! A little modding is understandable as this is not going on a Camaro. I'll also welcome other measurements

Yes it should, the air goes just under the nose through the radiator then out the ZL1 extractor hopefully

Unless you make provisions for the catch basin over your radiator as the ZL1 has you will get water runoff into the engine compartment.

look at a pic of the insert. It is 41" from the cowl to the front point center to center. It is 22 1/2" wide at the center point of the hood.

It will clear the engine plenty, my worry is it actually going to far forward and touching the radiator.
