The crossmember is now capable of being ordered on the Holley website (part number 12627HKR), we will be getting the product information out to our resellers next week also, so if you want to possibly save a few more bucks you can hold out until you see the product listed with them as well.

Thanks to all those who've waited for this product.

Holley don't send outside of the USA so I have to wait for Summit or Jegs to list these before I order one. Still nothing on their sites so hopefully they list them soon and I don't miss out!

Check their sites every day steery, it usual takes at least a week for them to load the info we send to them on our product releases.

Hi Todd, I check them all about 3-4 times a day. I can't wait to get my hands on one!

So they still aren't listing these and I notice on the Holley website that the on backorder date keeps getting pushed back. Is there a problem with supply with them?

No, they're just busy in the facility and the boxing operation goes on the production schedule like everything else done there. The sooner someone places an order, the sooner you'll see them start shipping. Orders drive the system, so if there's no order in the system then there's no extra rush to get them boxed.

As far as 3" exhaust accommodation is concerned, yes, it will easily do that as it was one of the primary requirements of the design from the beginning. The arches are in the same exact location as the Hooker 4L60 and T56 crossmembers and allow bolt-in installation of the Hooker LS swap headers and Hooker 2.5" and 3" exhaust systems. The following photo will show you the ground clearance that is provided by the Hooker long-tube headers, crossmembers and 3" exhaust system...I think you'll be hard pressed to find something off the shelf that tops it.
Bumping this one back up from a search. Are you saying that if I have the Hooker T56 crossmember, all I would need is the adapter plate to make a 4L80 work?

This piece I'm guessing - https://www.summitracing.com/parts/h...4hkr/overview/

That would be great news for my swap costs if what I'm reading is correct.

No, installing a 4L80 in a 1st-gen F-body/3rd-gen X-body requires the use of a specific Hooker transmission crossmember, which is part number 12627HKR. Here's a photo of what it looks like with a 4L80 in the subframe.
