lt1 to ls1 swap question i completly swap everything from an 01 ss to my 96 ss. wiring,motor,tranny, fuel tank, brake/fuel lines etc. everything but the front end. i was just wondering how to run my air induction and if anybody has any pics of this. i was gonna run the lt1 cool air style but the ls1 abs unit seems to be in the way. the factory 96 ss box wont work because the power steering pump is in the way and obviously the hood is too low for the 98^ airbox. anybody have any idea or pictures that might help me out. i did a search but i didn't see/find much.
well.. its kinda ghetto but my friends car has this done.. the top plastic support for the radiator has been taken off and now zipties hold it in on the top, then there is a K&K cone filter that is on the end of the MAF and another tube. it just kinda sits there and gets pinched by the hood a bit (i hope you can visualize the description, the K&N basicly sits where a LS1s lid should sit)
id suggest cutting the middle out of your plastic radiator top support and somehow working a vette style (thing that looks like a cobra) intake on there, thats just my thoughts.
