Default Factory air box on top of engine

Anybody know which cars had a factory airbox on top of the engine? I know I've seen it somewhere before but I have no idea where. Was it an Impala or Camaro? I'm just looking for additional ideas for running a cowl induction hood.

Here is a picture of the Year One Ban III Trans Am. I'm curious on how thay did that or is that just a mock up?

They custom built that airbox for the car. I think that they used fiberglass.

I did my own cowl Induction CAI, it if fully functional... Using a factory or Repo Cowl Hood.. I designed and built a air box to match up to the Cowl Hood and just used some rubber elbow and tubing to conenct it all together.

I used an LT1 ram air box to sit on top of my engine to work with my lt1s cowl hood. The first pit is where it was mounted with my ram air hood. The 2nd pic is where it was mounted with the cowl hood. Not the best setup but it did work
