I hate digging up a 9 month old thread, but can anyone provide a measurement from the firewall to cylinder head using the Hooker mounts?
I started my swap about 10 years ago. Bought a house, got married, and the project got back burnered.
I’m using one of the other guys mounts and don’t love how they fit. It may because I’ve got a Blazer, but the engine seems too high and too far forward. The front of the H3 oil pan sump is resting on the crossmember, causing a poor pinion angle.
Any help would be great. These are two beautiful 1st Gen swaps. Hopefully I’ll have mine up on here soon too.

What Headers are you using? It saves a lot of head scratching if you use Headers and their Intended Mounts.
Ive never owned a Blazer Frame, but seems like I remember reading they have a raised Mount?
IF I ever do another S10 I will use the Holley Mounts and Headers.
Sorry I cannot help with the Head to Firewall Question, Im using the Current Performance Mounts which I do not Recommend.
On youtube their is a guy "Cheeky Garage" that is using the Holley stuff, you may be able to see something in one of his Videos.

I have only ls swapped one blazer. Put a couple old small blocks in them. I cut off the raise mount pads on all of them. It raised the engines too high and caused tunnel issues. I seem to remember the at least one had mount holes under the raised plates. I did drill at least one to get everything where I wanted.
