I'm trying to figure out why it has a carb-type air cleaner on it with the stock intake manifold and piping. For visual smog inspection?

Putting an LS1 in a caprice is nothing unusual. I thought this post was going to be about a Toyota or something.

LS1 in a box chevy is a cool swap. Without the interior and rims, it would probably be a nice car.

wasn't there a guy wanting to put the ls1 on a bike or trike on here about 6-7 months ago. Anyone got a ls1 in a fiero I've seen plenty of lt1's but not the ls1 Im guessing it's hard to find or build a tranny and bellhousing.

I know the LS1 fiero has been done, I saw one in vettefest a couple years ago. I was talking to the guy and he said it was easier to fit in than a GEN I SBC, because there was no distributor. He used the car as a daily driver.
