i just finished my conversion up on mine. It took me about 5 minutes to do. I have the ls base and a SLP lid. Mine is on a 93 TA but i have a 98 exterior front end conversion as well. now all i need to do is figure out what to use to go from my TB to the round exit of the lid.

I went to Home Depot for mine, 3 inch ferno coupler. Looks good installed. I did have to heat the end going to the TB in hot water to get it to stretch over the TB but it looks factory once on. It cost a whole $8

Fernco coupler is just a piece of rubber intended for joining to pieces of pipe. Goto the plumbing section and you'll find a variety of sizes.
