WTB: LT1 WS6 complete airbox assembly

[birdie2000]

Like the title says, looking for a complete LT1 WS6 airbox assembly. Must have everything needed to attach it/make it work (doesn't need to have the air filter though).

Thanks!

Birdie,you dog you,I just joined and that was the 1st thing I was gonna do to my 97'T/A.Have you already got the hood? What exh do ya have? Thanx,Hdal

My car is an actual WS6 that I bought as a rolling chassis, but the previous owner got rid of the airbox because the car used to have a supercharger on it. The hood is definitely my favorite for these cars.

I have a true dual 2.5" exhaust out the back with a Magnaflow muffler.

Good luck with the hood! Like the airbox, they're not easy to find, and if you do they're not cheap.

I found a complete tb forward oem kit on craigslist in mint condition a few years ago for $150. I bought it and by the time I picked it up he said he had about 30 calls offering him way more, but the guy kept to his word of $150. Good luck on your search!

I've actually been trying to find one for awhile to no avail. My thoughts were that if I was going to do the LS1 lid and cover the radiator cover, I might as well find an airbox and dremel open my hood's scoop.

There was actually one on eBay a couple weeks back for about $300 but I passed. Wasn't familiar with all the parts it should come with and wrongly assumed it was missing something I needed. Was definitely pricey, but at least I would have had it.

[birdie2000]

Ugh, I was all excited because someone PM'd me on another forum saying they had one and to make an offer. I avoided making an offer, and he shot back with a price of $500. I about hit the floor. Nooooo way.

I'm thinking I could make a fiberglass one for less than $100...

Want a template?

Want a template?

Well, if I did go that route I'd go a little differently. I'd try to fiberglass something such that the air box actually works with my hood. I was thinking if I took balsa wood and made a frame I could then wrap a cotton tshirt around it and then soak in resin kinda of like this -

I was talking about an actual ws6 airbox to work off from.

If you have one I could borrow then heck yeah I'd love to use one as a mock up

[birdie2000]

I gave it some thought since you mentioned it. The part that I think will be pretty difficult is making the two pieces fit together snugly and securely while still being removable. I actually think it would be harder to use a stock box as a template for those areas. I have a feeling it'll be a lot more work than it's worth unless $500 is really the going price. Fiberglass is cool but such a pain in the ass, lol.

I'd probably end up doing something custom with metal if I had to have something made, whether a sheetmetal box for the hood or a huge pipe mimicking a typical CAI but without the areas where it necks down and an enormous filter.
