their kits are nice except for the transmission tunnel.. the send a sheet of metal that’s already cut and they send you a large template to lay over the stock tunnel so you can cut the old tunnel and install theirs.. but I ended up cutting most of my tunnel and making a new one

UPDATE!!!

The Hooker Longtubes arrived. I was able to install them today. Clearance for days! Plenty of room in the engine compartment and 1-1.25” of space between the collector and the floorboard



Drive side clears all steering related parts.. I will have to finesse a brake line out of the way.

Passenger side. Space for days

Passenger side collector.

Driver side collector

yes, I ordered all the Holley mounts but figured it was worth testing before i go that deep.. so I ended up getting away with using the stock SBC frame mounts and swap plates
