Has Anyone Used the Holley/Hooker Exhaust Manifolds?

If the height of your mounts is greater than you will not be able to acheive the 3 degree engine/transmission inclination angle we desined into the componenents without having interference issues between the collectors and the floor. That would result in you having to tilt your transmission down at the tail end lower the collectors at the expense of worsening your U-joint working angles. Although the may or may not bolt-in with your mounts, they were in no way designed to do so and provide optimized fitment/operational geometry in your finished package.

As a final comment, Hooker does offer all our LS swap applications in stainless along with all the premium components you'd like to see with the upgrade in material...here's a shot of the stainless version of the same header, notice the investment cast flanges and formed merge collectors that differentiate these headers from their mild steel siblings.

What headers are these that are pictured?

They are the new Hooker LS swap headers coming out for 1st-gen F-bodies/3rd-gen Novas.

I thought Hooker/Holley had a kit with everything needed to get an LS motor into a 1st gen F-body. Does anybody know the part number or have experience with it?

Hooker/Holley has a system of parts that are for the application, but you build your own "kit" based on your individual needs as there are far too many possible combinations of parts to package a standard kit. Engine mounts, transmission crossmembers, mid-lenth headers, long-tube headers and 2.5" and 3" exhaust systems are all part of the offerings, so you just need to know what you want or need.

Any idea if this mount system will clear RideTech Tru Turn?
