So what's the scoop on Hooker headers?
I'm still not positive, but I dunno if these'll fit with S&P style mounts... I got 2 1/2" clearance between rear of drivers-side head to firewall, a good deal more than the hooker mounts.. It's hard to tell if they'd still clear...
this is for the person that was wondering if truck accessories would clear- I think this shows it's a definate yes...
view from front to determine any height difference...

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.
Welcome to the site, and thanks. Can anyone measure the critical points (like the steering box, control arms) to see if they'd clear with the above clearance difference? I'd like to get a set of these headers in the future, possibly, but I like the s&p mounts. The hooker mounts put it too far back for my liking.

I am using an S&P oil pan. There is plenty of room to drop the engine down more and forward.
The distance from the firewall to the driver head is 1 5/8" which is lees than an inch from the S&P mounts. Here is a close shot of the #5 header tube and streering box.... there would just be enough room. I think that would be the only clearence issue.

So,
What is the verdict here with S&P motor mount adapters? Which headers? I'm kind of confused.
68red Canmaro,
Can you also pls measure the clearence to steering box on that #5 tube. Please.
Thanks

I pulled the engine out this week end.... i should be putting it back in sometime this week. I will get a pic with distance on the #5 header tube.

Sorry to here you got a bad set. I am sure Summit will take them back and send you another set. But i think that is a good idea to call Hooker and let them know you had a problem so they can find out what happened. Let us know what they say.

68redcamaro,
Thank you. The reason I'm asking because I got the S&P mount /adapters and reading the posts that sits the engine 1" forward. So if you have more then 1" clearence between the #5 tube and steering box that would be sweet.

still dealing with hooker I spoke with the guy who designed these he sent some pics and basically said if yours look different send them back for another pair my mother is in the hospital so being there I haven't been able to take care of this(other than talking to the designer)
