So what's the scoop on Hooker headers? Hey guys - I'm still waiting to see what people's results were on Hooker headers (part # 2288-1KHR) with S&P mounts on a first-gen Camaro...anyone know how/if they fit?
If they fit, there's no doubt I'm getting them for my '69 with an LS1 an S&P motor mounts!

Hooker headers I ordered mine as soon as i got back from Sema were they had some on display. They came in at the end on January and i just installed them this weekend in my 1968 Camaro. They fit excellent i think. i have not found any problems yet. They come with collector, gaskets, bolts and O2 extension harness. Here are some pics.... if you need a speical shot just let me know.

I added your pics to the 1st gen sticky at the top of this forum. Hope you don't mind.
The headers look really good, better than I thought they would. Which motor mount adapters did you use?

Thanks for the pics - it looks great! I already have my motor installed with S&P motor mounts, so I'm really curious as to whether or not those headers will clear the drivers side with the original steering box?
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
Hey, could you please measure the distance from back of heads to firewall, so I can compare to my measurement for S&P to determine whether or not they're compatible? I'd appreciate it.. and thanks for posting pics.

The clearence between the right head and the firewall is 3/8".... pretty tight but that is how i wanted it. I am worried if i can get the top bolts in the bellhousing of my 4L60E.
Here are some ground clearence shots..... hope you can see it..... it is dark under there.

My engine sits approx 3" from my firewall, barely clearing the heater hoses.. I dont see how those hooker mounts would work with heater unless you had the big-block heater core that sticks out more toward the fender..
It appears your first header tube is paralell with the center frame stand bolt, so it looks like hooker puts the engine between 1-2" farther back than S&P... I'm going to try to find some better refrences to measure off of..
i'll bust out the tape measure tomorrow..
