Camaro Style Intake on a Firebird?

Anyone know how to make me the Camaro intake work on a firebird? In the middle of a swap and the motor came from a 87 camaro, going into a 91 5.0 TBI car now. Would make my life way easier if I can just get the camaro style intake and air filters in there some how.

Otherwise I have to relocate the battery to the otherside and find somewhere new for the vapor canister.

Whats on the oposit side of the polastic v shaped peice?

Re: Camaro Style Intake on a Firebird?

IIRC, it wont work due to the 'bird hood being lower profile. Pop for a K&N cone filter and you'll be golden.

The firebird came with the exact same engine in that year too, just get something like this, or make your own. http://www.ebay.com/itm/PONTIAC-FIRE...item415e50e38e
