Ryan, Thats a good question. I have never used anyone elses plates (S&P) so I don't really know where they position their setup.We always machined our own. Our plates set the engine back near the firewall and the Hooker long tubes work perfectly. I know Hooker makes mounts to use in conjunction with their headers but I don't know what they look like and we (at the time) had already had our plates machined so I just decided to try it and it fit perfect.

Here's a pic of them close up.

Sorry to bother you with this Kurt, I'm just trying to figure if the hookers work with my plates, then I'm going to order a set before I get my exhaust system ceramic coated.

Ryan,

I,m not sure what to tell you. You are dealing with two factors. The position of the engine is also determined with the type of mounts you are using with the plates. The different types can change how high or low the engine sits and how it sits in relation to the firewall. We wanted to position the motor as far back and low as possible. What do you have on there for headers now?

What you could do is order the Hooker long tubes, trial fit them and if they fit then get em sent off for coating. I know this is probably the very thing you are trying to avoid but maybe the only sure way to find out.

Very nice...Looks like you did your homework. This pan looks alot better than the S&P one that I have seen.

I would prefer to not cut up the trans tunnel, so will these mounts put the T-56 trans in a place where I would not have to cut trans tunnel? thanks

The Hooker mounts looks pretty much as GM measure it in their LS1 Installation guide. Here is a drawing from that book:

Thanks Kurt for the compliment. Did you get our pan for Project G-Rex yet?

I think Todd shipped it to you last week.

No modifications required to the tunnel with our plates & mounts.
