2nd gen hooker headers and ls7 accessories?
Reason I was askin about the hooker stuff is I like the design of the new headers and the one piece motor mount on the block instead of two pieces bolted together. Also when I tried the fbody stuff with the current brackets that put engine in stock location my alternator was hitting the steering. I was wanting to use the ls7 fead kit because of ease of getting replacement parts.... Not having to try to match something to make it fit

To the OP, I'll do a little digging to see if I can determine the compatibility of the brackets with the LS7 accessory drive set-up.

If you didn't purchase the Vette FEAD yet but still wanted to go this route VS. Fbody, I believe HOLLey has their FEAD setup based off the GM Vette design. Looks awesome to me. IIRC, it uses common alternator vs. the Vette specific (and pricey) alt the GM or GMPP FEAD uses. If you have the fbody FEAD and don't want to dick around, you can use that. They also sell a spacer that spaces it out to the tight Vette balancer, midbalancer(Fbody/GTO ->?) and truck/Camaro5 balancer.
I still think the HOLLEY FEAD is the best deal out there if you want OEM appearance and want something that's new.

ya I had bought the vette kit about 3 weeks ago..... at 825 versus the 1100 for the holley kit that's comparible as far as the contents go. I can still return the kit... the nice thing is I bought it on the chevy account at the shop instead of mailorder and I have no shipping on it that way.
