You should ask this in the LT1 section to get more responses.

WS6 LT1's had the air filter sitting on top of the intake manifold. Wouldn't you want to do that instead? I would think mounting the filter like the LS1's would put the filter far away from the hood opening ruining the ram-air effect.

I don't think he's talking about the actual intake manifold. Just the area between the throttle body and the air box. (or so I hope)

Im sure you can find the lower air box piece... ebay or on here. I used to have one, dont know where it went. Use can use some existing holes to bolt it in. You might have to drill a couple out.. but thats no biggie. Then you need the lid, filter, and a 3.5 inch rubber tubing from the lid to the throttle body.... I know it will be REAL close with hood clearance though....
