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?

I have no idea either way as no attempt was made to fit check those parts during development of the Hooker mounting components or headers.

I'm a little confused. Didn't the 48 Hour Camaro use this engine swap system? If so it should fit the Ridetech True Turn system as that is what they used?

Also, the clearances look great but how did the transmission fit? Any mods required on the transmission tunnel for my 69 Camaro with your system and a 4L60E?

No, the 48 Hour Camaro was built before the new Hooker/Holley 1st-gen parts were even on the drawing board. The assembly of that car used the existing Hooker swap plates and 2288HKR headers that have been on the market for about 5 years now. The Crusher Camaro that was swapped by the Roadkill crew at the PRI Show in Dec. however did use the new Hooker/Holley parts...there's a big difference in the approach to how these components work. The 4L60 fits like butter with the new mounts and crossmember.
