I am doing a front clip swap on my 96 Camaro and I am getting a LS1 lid and the part that holds the radiator. What do I need to adapt the intake to the MAF and to the lid?

I shouldn't have to cut anything right?

Also, I am in the process of putting the LT1 in from doing a 3.8 swap. I don't know where I put the stock maf. I have a stock 98 LS1 maf. Will the 98 maf work?

Quick question, are you doing the front end conversion just so you can convert to the LS1 lid? I did the LT1 to LS1 lid conversion on my '96, not sure if it was worth it but looks alot better. Do a search, tons of threads on the LS1 lid conversion.

On the MAF, Id prolly stick with the LT1 MAF for the LT1 motor to be safe. Look at the part number on the one you have for the 3.8l, research and compare to the LT1 MAF. Might be the same but not sure. I have a few LT1 MAF's sitting around that I dont use, speed density, I could send you for a price.

There should be no cutting involved, but you never know. Use a rubber plumbing connector or turbo pipe connectors for maf to TB, or you could try a stock LS1 accordion bellow and see.
The maf should slip into the lid, but another connector there wouldn't hurt.

The 3.8maf defintley won't work. I have 2 MAFs, one from a 98 LS1 and one from a 96 LT1. I'm not really sure if the one I found is the one from the LT1 or the one from the LS1. It was in my container with my LT1 parts, so I'm hoping that it is the LT1 maf.

Also I'm not doing the front clip swap for that reason. I like the 98+ front clip best and that is the only reason for the swap. I have already sold the old front clip. I already have all the brackets. I just need the lights, bumper, and fenders.

Do you have a link?



Here is a link to my project: https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...ro-3-8-m5.html

edit: I think I found your album, but did you do a LS1 lid swap? In the pics you have the lt1 setup.

LS and LT MAFs are the same. You need a lid obviously, take your pick, you are paying for looks (black, clear, carbon fiber). Lower airbox, filter and a stock ls1 bellow.

Any sizE or shape coupler (the thingys that connect TB's to intake piping)can be be had by a simple search of the Internet ... So can the entire mod .

No crap. I wouldn't have asked the question if I could have found it. I found several people doing the mod, but most were more about the cutting of the radiator support or hood clearance. For some reason I couldn't find any info on the pipe. Luckily I just found it: 3″ to 3″ Fernco coupler, available at Lowes.
