If you think an LT1 has a pointy front end, what does a third gen have? A round one? Haha

 

While I like the +98 SS front end, the 93-97 SS front end is just so much meaner. What hood will you go with?

 

Yep.

 

Id beg to differ but to each his own

 

This would definitely be a good thread to start, see if people prefer the 93-97 front end of the 98-02 front end.

 

I prefer the 98-02, as long as it is appointed nicely.

 

I plan on running some kind of 90 degree elbow much like lt1 elbow into a cold air dump into the well thats there, or running with a air filter right before the maf sensor. I do know this the air lid will be gone and I will fabricate the rest. I will be putting the lt1 SS hood on the car, matter of fact, I'm picking up that hood this weekend at the english town swap meet. Fiber customs is there so I will be picking up another one of his SS hoods. His hoods fit really good, I had a body guy correct the lines on the fenders and I'm happy now with the results. I also in the future plan on running a pro charger setup on this car, spoke with the guys at east coast supercharges, should be involved with that around december of 2013. I know this next statement my upset a few people out there but I as far as a motor goes I'm just going out and buying a new one. Im looking to go big, like 427 small block big.

 

I like both but I'm definitely a 93-97 front end guy.

 

If the LT1 had more ability to customize the front end I feel a lot more people would like it. Like if LT1s were made with the bottom half of the LS1 bumper I would like it a lot more

 

The pointy front end was another thing I couldn't stand comparitivily.

the only thing i dont like about the lt1 front end is the shitty head lights. but i agree the lt1 do look meaner stock to stock. but aftermarket wise its a tos up

 

damn if I saw this and I didn't mind dropping a grand on it that's just what it would need for me

 

thats a nice z28 hood. Like how it has the cowl + air induction scoop.

 

Found the SS hood i was looking for, picking that up tomorrow afternoon. A little sanding and some silver paint and clear coat and it will be good as new

 

So i got my hood home today, she needs some paint but other than that she is good to go.

 

i'd say a ram air LT1 T/A does

 

that's a little pricy for something I could try myself but I do want that bumper badly!

 

Looks good , I remember when these started hitting the streets in the mid to later 90's I was like holy ****, its just that nowadays the 98-02 looks so much better...Hoods just as bad w/ way better lines.

 

any progress yet?
