LS1 air box on LT1 car question!

[JoeliusZ28]

Why does the core support have to be cut? I mean the core support is identical between LT1s and LS1s so is it just because of where the LT1 sits compared to the LS1?

LT1 hoods are too low to fit the LS1 radiator support and lid stacked together.

what if i got a cowl hood? I'd rather not cut my core support. I spent weeks on making the engine bay purdy lol

I could always go Ls front end, Been wanting halo head lights for so long.

I like the pictures someone posted on LS1Tech of their BMR polished radiator support with an LS1 clear lid... Hrmmmmmmmmmm....

Joel are you going to wood ward friday night? I also wanted to check out the air mod you did.

I can post the pictures on here if you have not checked it out Larry, just have to wait till the end of the day when I get out of work.

chris i thought about it on the way back yesterday, but im going to try to get you some pictures of the underside of the rad support. Youll find it helpful cause theres a lot to trim there and it would be a guessing game without them.

i don't mean to thread-jack, but does the LS1 style intake outflow the '93-'97 ram air? I need a different intake but just not sure.

Here are a few pics of Joel's car for whomever was interested in looking at the setup.

im going to get my hosting back up soon. you guys need to see the underside of the rad support, i did some trick trimming there that made the whole setup nice and "snug" / solid.

Thanks for sharing the pics Chris.

I'll hopefully be starting the changeover with my car soon, I'll get some in the works pictures whenever I get started with this. Waiting on a call back for some parts, possibly have the whole factory rad support / air box assembly for $60-70. I checked the dealer on just the lower support and they wanted $125 after my discount. A bit ridiculous on something I'm just gonna cut to fit.
