Im wanting to do the LS1 lid setup on my formula. Will it fit under the stock flat firebird hood?? I dont mind cutting the underside of the hood out to make it work if need be. I plan on making the hood a pin on style anyways.

Thanks

 

nobody has tried this???

 

 

ive searched everything ive found is for a camaro.

 

I've also been wondering if this is also possible on my lt1 T/A stock Hood.. Im sure it is but you're going to have To do alot of cutting.. Keep searching and post pics... Good luck...

 

Well i just bought a SLP lid from a member here. I guess we will find out how much i have to cut out to make it fit.

 

I've heard it will work under a stock camaro hood but i doubt it would work under a stock firebird one. i used to have the stock hood on my 95 and i seem to remember the inner reverse scoops making the hood sit lower in the center area which would probably mean it wouldn't clear the firebird hood like it does the more flat camaro hood. just my .02 though i have never tried it.

 

Yeah, I tried too.. It won't fit without cutting a bunch of stuff.. So I bought a ram air hood and now it fits nice, with NO cutting on my car...

 

I dont mind cutting up the hood and what not to make it work. Take a look at my car...i love the cut off wheel

 

i did it on my car but it has newer style support but go for the ls1 lid conversion you should feel alots of difference, thats the way it they should have done it on all lt1

 

You fit the lid under a stock firebird hood??

 

the lid will work with the stock hood, like the camaro you cannot use the Ls1 shroud/support.since you do not mind some fab work this is the mod for you.

 

yea my car stayed with the stock hood but i have 98 style on a 96 lt1

 

Hmmmm ok.... so you don't have your stock Hood on your 96' lt1....

 

its a stock ls1 style hood with the whole 98 front in with all the supports in a 96 lt1

 

Well guys I made it fit. I did have to cut the supports on the under side of the hood and cut a piece of the core support out...but it was no big deal. All that is left is to make a cover to go over the sides of the radiator and get some rubber hose to go from the intake-maf-to the lid. So YES IT IS POSSIBLE to do if your willing to do a little fab work.

 

back from the dead!!!

lol, did you cut anything from the hood??

edit: duh!!! it says it in the post, do you have any pics if the underside of the hood where you cut it??

 

i just did it today and it fits nice I followed the camaro post on cutting and installing. Looks good and I know the car is going to perform better

 

Can you link the Camaro post for others, please?

 

well im gonna try here u go and i will post some pics of mine
