Default Hooker LTs into Gbody

John B no longer offers motor mounts. I have a set of F-body Hooker LTs I want to use when I transfer my drivetrain from my WS6 to my Buick. Are there any motor mounts that allow the use of the Hookers without surgery? I haven't seen any real definitive info in the subject other than John Bs mounts that are no longer produced. Thanks,

Larry

I have the john b motor mounts on my car and hooker lt f body headers. The passenger side had to be modified to fit even with his mounts they will not just bolt in.

Good to know I guess. Ok, anyone know of mounts that require only slight mods/dimpling of the headers? I can make my own but I prefer not to if I can help it. Also, any matching crossmembers for the T-56? Thanks,

I have Hooker super comps, the passenger side had to do the hammer mod to fit, but the drive side slid in like a glove if you run the header from under the car.

You can see the hammer marks

I agree. This post is more about the motor mounts though. What mounts were used for that install so I can stay away from that brand? Thanks for all the input guys.

The motor mounts are for an S10 swap and the body mounts are from speedway
