Default LS1 Lid On LT1 Car

Alright, Well I was looking at some of the other post and noticed that some Lt1's have the LS1 lids and I was wondering what all you need in order to make the conversion. I have a '95 Camaro Z28 and would like to do the lid conversion. Also, will fit with the stock hood?

wont fit under the stock hood without modifying somewhat. the_merv did it under the stock hood. cant use the LS1 radiator cover though.

i did mine using the radiator cover and i bought a cowl hood to clear it so it looks cleaner.

Search is being a bit retarted so this can slide.

You can still search but it wont be in a general area, I would still recommend doing that to find more answers.

Correct, but you cant search the LT1 section itself. Or any single section for that matter.

We should finally be getting some track numbers out of Jimbob's. I remember last year when he was doing this. He did alot of research and test fitting.

Looks like it came that way now

Why on earth would you want a cowl on a Firebird? That's like putting a nostril ram air on a Camaro! (There's a tool around here with one *sigh*)

You mean the Bellow from the TB to the MAF..Revelation already has that one..and the MAF is gone also, I am putting in a Corvette Z06 85mm. Everything else will stay the same.

The only thing I have left that I am wanting to sell is the Built 4L60E that came out of my LT1.

I meant the stuff for the radiator to house the lid. For some reason I figured you'd not use it, but that doesn't make any sense lol Good ole sleep deprivation!
