The Hooker 1st gen LS engine mounting brackets and T56 crossmember mount the engine and transmission lower in the chassis than is possible using the frame stand/swap plate mounting method and requires no tunnel modifications to install either a 4th-gen F-body T56 or T56 Magnum transmission in the car while achieving optimized U-joint angles. The Hooker Blackheart 1st-gen headers are designed around this mounting geometry and provide tight tucked ground clearance.

Quick queston toddoky. Do you know if 1/2 height body mounts will still clear with the Hooker swap setup? Or would tunnel need to be raised to clear F-body T56(may be getting greedy but wanted to ask).
