Default Crossfire cold air intake

I read someone's post saying that their L83 had a cold air intake. Is there really a cold air intake kit for this motor? If so, where?

the short answer is "no". there is no cold air kit for the 84' crossfire cars

however, i believe the 84s had a cold air induction system molded into its hood from the factory. u have to do some cutting to make it truely effective though. do a search and im sure youll come up with threads on this mod

At the front of your hood is an oval cut out.Simply cut a mating oval on the top of your radiator shroud and Viola ! Cold forced air.Seal with universal weatherstripping.Really works well.

But don't expect lighting performance that is going to pin you back in your seat. The crossfire needs to be freed up for more air and fuel and only Porting or Xraming will give a noticeable improvement.
