I empathize with the frustration both of you are experiencing. Unfortunately, there’s no insight I can provide you with that would be helpful as I have no connection to the ordering or production sides of our business.

Old thread I know but has anyone used the long tube headers Hooker BlackHeart 70101335-RHKR LS Swap Long Tube with a TKO600 on this swap? Holley has these things on sale at a helluva price and I want to get a set for my 65 LS3/TKO but not if they are not going to fit. I am using a bellhousing similar to the 621 BBC housing with the cast iron Holley manifolds. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

That is a smoking deal for some really nice headers, as long as the 1 3/4" primaries are OK for your application. As for fitting the bellhousing, it says it works with a T56/tr6060, and your TKO is smaller than that in almost every dimension.

Thanks Andrew, I'm running a stock LS3. At some point I may do a cam but it's pretty strong as it is. Besides I'm not a responsible adult and I don't know if I could handle any more power. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on it, especially at that price. I was just worried it wouldn't clear the BBC housing. Thanks.

If you go with Holley EFI, please keep me in mind for your tuning needs.

Does anyone know any place that has the a-body convertible/el camino crossmember in stock? Summit has an estimated ship date of March 5th!

I thought the crossmembers were all the same for all models? 64-67

All convertibles are different as they have boxed frames rather than a C-channel style frame. G-Force makes a convertible specific cross member, or you can redrill the mounting points on the frame and use the stock cross member with an offset trans mount.
