Yes, but that is the LS1 setup and on his LT1 he might need to do some cutting up around the front radiator support section. If I get a chance this weekend, I'll take off my lid/airbox assembly and take some pictures. Then he can compare the LS1 rad support/hood latch area to his LT1 to see what might work.
