Wow. Very sanitary job. I'm going the same route, with a very similar set-up.

 

I really like this and it appears to be a job very well done.

looking forward to seeing the pics of it apart and underside

thanks for sharing

 

X2 this is the first time Ive even been interested in thinking about a swap.

 

couldnt tell you because the streets are full of snow and salt right now and im on storage insurance for the winter, the car isnt going anywhere until april.

I believe the LS1 radiator support is a direct swap for firebirds with the WS6 hood. Or at least its a lot easier.

I am working on a write-up for this install. i'll post it along with more pictures later today.

 

I will do this sometime this year and measure MAP readings to see if there is truly a gain or not.

 

I'm interested in more detailed pics as well. I just bought a lid setup and a SSRA for the 96 Ram Air. Your setup is the cleanest I've seen to date. Good job,

Larry

 

So, you still had to slice a big notch out of the metal support right?

 

correct

 

Not so much a direct swap but probably easier as it has more clearance. We tried it. I think I know what you did. Did you cut the bottom of the bolt holes out of the plastic? I had all the parts to do this myself and decided against it for some reason. I ended up getting a Ultra Z hood and using the LS1 FIPK II. Look at my pic below for the way it looks.

 

Nicely done. Obviously my friend you are not a hack!!

 

id like to know how...because ive done this 3 times and trimmed them until they were almost paper thin and you have to trim the whole bottom of it to make it fit and i still couldent make it fit

 

That's exactly what I've been looking to do.. Very nice setup man!

 

Does SLP make anything like this for the B Body? I love the look. If they don't...would THIS fab work?

 

are you setting the filter and lid down into the core support? Making the lid clear was much more of an issue (actually i am still trimming the hood for it) than making the radiator support fit. When i was done cutting the radiator support to fit, i threw it on (less the lid) and my hood closed with no hiccups.

The trick is to do the lid WITHOUT the radiator support and then make it fit around that setup. using the raised filter mount comes no where close to fitting.

I took a bunch more pictures today and got part of the writeup done. Now that i took it apart, i think this will be very easy for you guys to replicate once you see where to cut. What took me forever was all the trial and error.

 

Wowo that looks like it was meant to be there! Great job! If I didn't already have the factory ram air box, I'd definitely want to do it up like that!

 

My question is how many have pulled off something like this with a meziere HD pump? It barely clears my fan shroud at this point (trimmed) , but not sure if it is just a matter of moving things and cutting. Nice job btw. Looks factory and that's a great thing.

 

wow this looks nice!!! great job man!

and happy new years

 

I know what ya mean about trial and error and a lot of trimming, thought it was probably tougher getting that to fit than it was for me to fit the ls1 ws6 raised base under my ram air hood. I would think that getting the normal base with a lid should be easy with a ram air hood. That's a great job you did, looks really good.

 

Now you have to get some kind of ram air

 

may end up doing this with a single plane intake a 90* elbow
