Default ls1 airbox on lt1 motor and hood?

So i went to buy an interior out of a parts car tonight and the guy threw in the entire ls1 style airbox assymbly for free. Heres my question. I know ill have to find some sort of piece to go from the round style intake to the oval... but other than that will the hood clearance be high enough? I have a stock firehawk hood. Its a stock lid with bellows, i figured if i can make it work ill put an aftermarket lid on it. Let me know what you think... i know its been done but im not sure what hood it was done with.

I've heard it's possible to mount the LS1 airbox on a LT1 T/A but not the Camaro. Probably the best thing to do is remove your radiator support and install the LS1 stuff for a trial fit.

By the way. I have the straight adaptor piece to connect the LT1 throttle body to the MAF. I beleive it was a OEM piece on the LT1 fire hawks

Did you ever get the Airbox test fitted? Or have you figured something else out?

the stock lid fits perfect... never got far enough into it to try it with an aftermarket but i dont see why it wouldnt. One of those projects i started and decided to abandon. Funny someone found this thread today though cause i happend to dig all that stuff out today in hopes of throwing it on
