Does the holley cross member work with dirty dingo mounts. Putting ls1 with a 4l60e in an 81 trans am.

I'm currently putting the whole Holley kit into my LS swap. Here is a picture of the cross member installed in my 69 camaro. If the Dingo mounts are the same height (frame to engine) as the Holley motor mount set up, i don't see why it wouldn't work? The Holley set up sets the frame to engine at 3-5/8".

No it won't Danny as the Hooker (not Holley) crossmembers for the 2nd-gen applications feature the same unique design geometry of the Hooker engine brackets for the same that centers the engine and transmission in the subframe. This is similar to the engine/trans alignment you will have when running many of the popular aftermarket subframes and unlike the stock passenger side offset that will be maintained when you use the Dirty Dingo or any other brand of swap plates.

The Hooker parts are designed as a system and cannot successfully be used in a mix and match fashion as parts have been in the past...you will have issues in doing so.

I hope this helps.

That's another way to skin the same cat.
