Default LS1 Chevelle Induction

I'm hoping to start transplanting my '01 LS1 from a Camaro into my 1972 Chevelle and was wondering what u other LS1 Chevelle owners do for an induction system. Is it something u do custom or is there one u can buy to make fit? Pics would be helpful too. Thanks!

Its more fun to find stuff for the truck intake/maf. Holy hell is it hard... 3 3/4" on one side of the maf and 3 7/8" on the other... How fun is that. I need BOTH sizes going to 4 inch.

another idea is to run a induction down into the back side of a high beam light bucket.... i was thinking about doing that on both sides. give the engine some added air.

Check this thread I found doing a search for Intake Elbow

https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...t=intake+elbow

There are some sources of tubing and accesories there. Not the bling bling ones though
