Default ls1 lid with stock 93-97 firebird hood

Hi guys
yesterday i finished the ls1 lid conversion on my 95 firebird.it's just a 3.4 V6 but i wanted to show you that it can be done with the stock firebird hood and where you have to cut the hood.The lid is the stock one from a camaro SS and the radiator support is from a 3.8 V6.
If i had trimmed a little the stock lid to become a little lower then i wouldn't have to cut the hood to close it but it would be a tight fit but soon i will replace the lid with the SLP one which is a little taller so i cut it anyway.
the throttle response is amazing and you can feel the difference,i can imagine how it will feel with the V8

Is that the early or late 3.8 radiator cover? Not sure if that cover would work on a V8 car, so the clearance may be different.

Still cool though.
