I also had to order an ls3 dipstick and tube as the muscle car/h3 pans dipstick interfered with the primaries and I broke the end off trying to tweak it. I dont see where it would be a problem running the ls3 dipstick/tube with the muscle car pan, But I wont know until tomorrow when I get it and install it.

Got my new hooker SS headers installed, with very little effort.
Im using the stock chevy clamshell mounts with ebay 1" setback plates.
Yes, these headers are expensive BUT they are hands down the best g body ls headers on the market. I am very happy with the fit and finish. I just hope the raw SS stays looking nice in the future.

First post and quick question, I don't recall seeing it asked in the thread. I have a column shifter and bench seats in my '86 Monte Carlo SS. Will the headers interfere with the shift mechanism? I have a stock 305/200R4 and will be using a 4L65E behind a LS3. I like the old school look of a shifter on the tree. Thanks for a very educational thread.

Modifying the feet sounds relatively easy... really appreciate you answering all these questions. One more, can you clarify what needs to be done to have the holley mounts work with a current v6 model? Like i said, I think i just purchase the clamshells for the v8 el camino, but i'm not sure.
I'll be returning the musclar oil pan for the holley one.

The Hooker G-body exhaust systems feature the side exit tips and include all the mounting hardware; the MCSS tailpipe kits are an add-on that can be installed with the exhaust systems.
