When I bought my '93 I was VERY happy that it already had the LS1 front end on it - but then I saw the LT1 SS hood and I had to have it. This is a current project, so I will update this thread as it makes progress.

Note - Every LS1 front end conversion thread I've seen says you must use LS1 fender brackets - when I took my LS1 front off, it still had LT1 fender brackets. Maybe that will be useful to someone.

I thought people would be all over it too, but sadly the only thing that sold was the hood, headlights and one fender (I still have the other parts if anyone needs them. I'll sell them for REALLY cheap, I need them out of the yard. PM me if interested).

i personally like the lt1 front end better, looks meaner and less like a catfish

you couldnt get a hood similar? or mold the bigger scoop in? now you'll have ugly headlights imo, and people will think your car is 5 years or so older (than if it had the ls conversion still on).

i mean, im positive ive seen that scoop on a ls1 front before so if thats the only reason, it just doesnt make sense to me.

Im with you, someone definitely makes an lt1 style hood for the ls1 front end, Ive seen a picture of it. Seems like a step backward...

So you mean people mite actually think the car is from the year it actually came from? Uh oh, wouldn't want that.

I want people to know they are getting beat by an LT1, it's more embarrassing for them that way.

But yes, they do make an LT1 style SS hood for LS1 Camaro's.

I'm sorry but I'll take the LT1 front end EVERY TIME over an LS1 front end. I hate the LS1 front end. No offense to those who have them, just not my choice, the LT1 front end looks so much more aggressive and stylish.

I'll try to get the fenders and bumper cover on this weekend and get some more pictures. I also have to start saving up for paint but I'm not too worried about that as I have a clutch change and cam swap planned before the car even sees the road again.

And for those of you who care, I have an LS1 SS Spoiler that will be going on the car too.

out of curiosity why didnt you just get the ls1 hood with the lt1 style scoop?

There's a few reasons.

1. So people know it's an LT1 beating them.

2. I like the whole look of the LT1 front clip better.

3. One day I hope to actually have an LS1 Camaro.

4. The LT1 front end is faster.

Gonna look good! Thats why I bought my 94, could have had a LS1 camaro, but the front ends are ugly and look like a chrysler sybring imo. The lt1 front ends look aggressive, especially with a ss hood or cowl
