Default making ultra z hood functional

So the car is almost completely put back together (95Z sorry) and i have an ultra z hood on it with the lt still in it. How do i make the ram air functional? I have heard that putting an air box from a T/A in it will work. Would an LS style air box work? Any pics/info would help immensely. Thanks.

Pic of hood?
EDIT I found a pic, I have a Suncoast Creations hood that is almost Identical, I used the box that goes with that hood, I do not see what either a LT1 ram air T/A box or the one from Suncoast would not work..they are very similar. Just make sure you seal it to the hood with foam.

LS1 lid wouldn't be "ram air" since it gets the air from the bottom and front. You need a WS6 air box that's open at the top.

Just recently there was a LT1 WS6 airbox for sale over on CZ28.com, do a search.

Try E BAY, I got my Suncoast box used off of CZ28.com for $80
