If it's a Camaro then you'll need a cowl hood, or you can do what one member did here years ago:

Most firebird WS6 hoods will fit the LS1 lid and lower with a lil trimming

^^^
What's the point of doing that when it already has a ram air box?

I was able to close my WS6 hood entirely on the LS1 Camaro air box assembly! However, you can't use the original ram air design of the LT1 WS6/Firehawk hoods with the LS1 air boxes. I couldn't bear to cut up the OEM hood on my car but I did have my knock-off U.S. Exotics hood to chop up without remorse.

If I really wanted to, I could throw my original LT1 WS6 hood back on and just use the SLP cold air duct for spring and summer use! The nostrils on the hood could help with engine cooling!
