LS Airbox
Thought I'd share my air box.
95-97 chevy truck under hood storage box with "ram air" opening in core support and temp sensor relocation.

Re: LS Airbox
Thanks! I think they are in just about every truck and suv. Some of the diesel trucks had 2nd batteries in that location.
I really wanted to find something GM to use and this popped in my head.

Re: LS Airbox
I always called them turbo mouths because they are often seen on turbo cars. Bell mouth sounds better.

Re: LS Airbox
Also added a gasket to the lid and a clevis pin to hold it tight.

Re: LS Airbox
I wonder if that box would make a nice home for the ECU and relays needed for my upcoming LQ9 swap? Seems like the right location for the typical truck harness. I remember this box in my 96 K1500 well!

Re: LS Airbox
Here is mine.
4" hole cut for the air to enter the box. 4" coupler to mount the ninty and box and K&N filter. The caddy box with another 4" hole cut and coupler installed. I sealed off the factory opening. Box installed with the ninty and a bracket I made. This is how it looks done.

I'm sure it would. Would be a nice way to hide all that junk. I chose to use it as an air box so I could do the ram air thing. All of my electronics are under the seat with amplifiers, relays and the push button start box. It was just too much to squeeze in there and not stress the harness connections.
