Hey guys, great site. I could be reading here for the rest of my life and not be done.

Anyway, I have an LS1 in my 69 Camaro and I need to come up with some sort of intake piping from the throttle body to go thru the right side of the radiator support and then put a filter on it. So basically I need one 90* from the throttle body, then I put my air flow sensor on that, then a strait peice of pipe, then a 90* pipe to go forward to the radiator support, then prolly another 90 or 45 to put the air filter onto.

I would like to use plastic since it's cheaper, but I guess I'll settle for aluminum.

Any ideas of where to get this stuff?

Thanks,

Joe

Search ebay for: aluminum tubing 3

Or check auction 330211680562.

That is what I used.

Here is my design from Spectre...You can order there Mock up kit before you go through the expense of purchasing and returning different peices.. The front view is not centered yet, but it does clear the condenser.

Rob, very nice man. Looks great! I had ideas of doing exactly what you have done, but I remembered about the upper radiator hose. It looks like your will clear since it's slightly lower.

PM sent,

Thanks,

Joe
