Yes, there is an O2 bung located on each collector. They are oriented outward towards the frame rails to clear all varieties transmission linkage that may be used. They are also indexed past 10 degrees horizontal to ensure reliable wide band operation.

The engine brackets just went up on the website today, so be sure you've ordered the correct brackets if you ordered them before today.

I ordered them today using the p/n you said. They're the only items in 64-67 A-Body section.

Toddoky

Great, just checking to be sure.

Which mounts do you recommend for 64 cutlass with 5.3 truck engine and FEAD with 4L60 trans?

Toddoky

The forward-bias brackets would be may recommendation. You'll have to swap out the pulley on your power steering pump with one from a early 90's V6 F-body to be able to use the truck FEAD...I can get the pulley part number for you if you need it.

prohandze

yes sir that would be greatly appreciated

I have a 5.3 in my 65 Cutlass located in the stock location which is rear bias I believe ? I don't think I have more than 1 inch clearance between my Holley 302-2 pan and the crossmember. I was wishing I had gone with the forward positioning but I don't think it would have fit..

You might want to check the crossmember fitment... Rockytopper has a 65 Cutlass and he might be able to comment on this

Toddoky

The new Hooker forward bias, or rear biased engine brackets are compatible for installation with the Holley 302-2 pan...the pan gets close to the engine crossmember with the forward bias brackets, but it does indeed clear.

Todd, I'm new on here and this may have been asked already but is the new cross member available for the 65 Chevelle? Front bias mounts - correct

Toddoky

Yes, there is a specific Hooker transmission crossmember ffor the 64-67 A-body applications that is going to be released and available shortly. The components are in our distribution facility and waiting to be boxed up. The crossmember will work with the forward bias and rear bias Hooker engine brackets.

Todd....I will be running a 4L70 trans and I thought I saw a post on here that thought a forward bias mount was best. Would that be your choice?
Thanks!

Toddoky

Yes, the Hooker forward bias brackets combined with the Holley 302-2 oil pan would be the best option if you want to ensure you achieve clearance between your inner tie-rod ends and oil pan, and achieve desirable U-joint working angles without having to perform any cutting on your tunnel.

Thanks so much Todd!! Just waiting on the crossmember to get on the shelf.

Todd,
I see the trans cross member has adapter plates that go inside the frame rail. Does the cross member go inside the frame or just sit on the ends of the adapter plates? The reason I ask is that I'm going to box my frame and if it just sits on the ends of the adapter plates I could box around those.

Thanks
Brad

Toddoky

The crossmember ends do extend beyond the inner edges of the frame rails when installed.

65LS3

Has the cross member from Hooker been released for the 64 - 67 chevelle ?

Toddoky

No, they have not hit the shelf yet. The last report I got through our purchasing department about their having been delivered from our vendor was incorrect; I've been given an updated status report that says they will be shipped to our facility this week.

Are you including 2 bungs in each collector? You can't really run a wide band without running both narrow bands for tuning purposes unless you are running open loop all of the time. Otherwise, the tuner will have to weld into the header or into the exhaust pipe to have the tuning bung in the exhaust

Toddoky

No, one bung per side is included. It's almost always easier to find a location for a horizontal bung that will work suitably for narrow band sensors and that is fairly easy to weld in the car. Because of that, I concentrate on finding a location that that will tolerate an upward angled O2 position that would be more difficult to weld in the car. As you've pointed out, you'll have to provide additional bungs if you want to employ wide-band operation, but the task should be easier with this configuration. If someone isn't using wide bands, then the bungs will work just fine with narrow band sensors and work to keep them higher tucked and better protected from road hazards.
