Default Air Intake plumbing

I am finishing up an LS1 swap in a 99 Sonoma, I need to know what I need and where to get it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also need a MAF sensor for a 99 ls1.

Very difficult to give you any help because you have provided very little regarding your swap.

What accessories did you use?
Where is your battery located?
90mm DBW TB or cable TB
Do you want an air filter in box or a K&N on the end of a 90 deg tube

Maybe a picture?

Some guys TIG weld 4" aluminum tubing with mandrel bends, others use rubber tubing with aluminum couplers........

Basic:



Factory parts using a RAM JET intake manifold (LS could be done this way)


TIG Welded tubing:


Too complicated:

Intakehoses.com for the rubber hoses, splices and clamps. Stock MAF from autozone, cheapo cone filter from Autozone or Advanced auto, soo to be replaced because its loose on its core, maybe leaking by. That's my "basic" S10 Blazer install pictured above.

I used the 4.3 throttle body "hat" and slipped it onto my LS throttle body. You can see it in one of the pics on my photobucket if you go to page 69 in the s10 LS swap thread.

I used a 2004 GTO intake elbow - many gto folks put on aftermarket and sell their stock elbows for good price - I just went onto one of the gto forums - asked if anyone had one available. Used standard cone air fitlers (K&N or other). Eventually I want cold air intake, but this works for now....
