Is the 98 LS1 style SS hood grille insert the same one as the 96-97 LT1 cars? Reason I ask is beacuse a friend of mine fit his 96 SS grille insert into my 92 ASCD SS hood, now I just need to buy one. I have a GM part number for the LS1 cars, but not the LT1's. Thanks.

 

Nobody know's if the LT1 and LS1 SS hood grille inserts are interchangeable?? (the same)

 

I don't know if this will help but when you look at the references on ebaymotors, the inserts are listed for 93-97 or 98-2002. There seems to be no crossover so I would suspect they are not interchangeable.

 

I didn't post because I am not 100% sure, but I don't believe they are the same. If you look at the scoops they are shaped differently.

 

Anyone know the GM part # for the 96-97 SS grille? I have the one for the 98 and up. Or anyone know where I could buy one? Thanks for the info!

 

You can contact Dal Slabaugh for the part number, price and availability. The contact information is at shbox.com

 

IIRC, the 96-97 hoods were not a factory part, but added on when the SS conversion was done off site, so there will be no factory part number for it.

 

Thats true, but Im sure SLP dont have any of them either. To be honest, I just want to get one.

 

they are different, gm part#010431617
you can buy them from slp for 61.95

Since I had bought an aftermarket SS hood for my 01, I asked Dal about getting the grille insert. Obviously it is not a GM part. None the less, he quoted a price and could have special ordered it. That would make it apparent he had/has access to some part numbers.

If you really want to get one, there is one place to check.

 

Thanks sykodave!!!
