Did you get the LT1 / LS1 MAF and translator? My OEM MAF is dead and just put my spare OEM one on there and it runs fine again however will get the translator and a LT1 or LS1 3" MAF and just wondering what you got ...

got the lt1 3'" , just put it on a hour ago, everything was going good until i tried to connect the maf to the stock filter elbow(the od on the maf is 3.25). had i read more on his site i would seen that, since i still had my old bell inlet hose, i put it between the maf and elbow and it worked fine :thumbup: my blm is still high, but i think thats the old fuel pump maybe

Jan,
Just as a follow-up, here are a few pics.

Sweet motor. Very clean. I like that it's stock-ish looking. I've been playing around with the idea of putting my motor back to a more stock appearing look for years now. I think if they make the reproduction plug wires I may put them on and put my hoses back to all black and maybe powdercoat my intake pipe black.
Thanks for posting those pictures, very clean setup. I saw the Delphi MAF is 3.25" so was not 100% sure if I would go for that one or the metal housing 3" MAF but will go the same route as you did! Placing order this weekend 
You might want to clock the new MAF so the connector etc sits on the side and not at the top as you might rub the hoodliner ... not sure but you might want to look at it just in case.
...also clock the hose clamps on the top of the up-pipe for the same reason.
Got mine almost installed (got all the parts from gbodyparts.com @ the reunion) ... just had to order a few stainless hose clamps and a piece of 3.25" silicon hose to fit my setup so nearly there lol
Also ordered some plugs / connectors to install the translator next to the ecm using the original TTA MAF wireharness to connect directly to the LT1 MAF then plugging the translator in between the MAF and the ECM next to the ECM instead of leaving it in the engine bay. So should look a bit stealth and no addiaonal adapters/connectors in the engine bay and also keep the translator from getting wet (rains a bit in my country lol) ... however before I get that all done I will just hook it up like Robert did in his pictures to make sure it runs good and settings etc are ok.
I'll post some pictures when I got it done but will be end of this month or early next.

which maf did you get ? not sure you can choose, but i think black looks better
Yep got the same as yours, the black Delphi LT1 (so 3") one ... this one will look a bit stock once installed so like that one as well.
