Shopper Award

Get that Gen III Hemi swap started the right way by using a fully engineered engine and transmission mounting system that provides maximum component clearances, ideal drivetrain geometry, and clearance for Hooker BlackHeart swap headers & 3.00" exhaust system.

This transmission adapter bracket works with the modular crossmember BHS525, BHS542, BHS545, or BHS562 to fit 8HP70/8HP90/9HP75 (2WD) 8-speed automatic transmissions (a different adapter bracket is used for each type of transmission). This design allows future transmission changes by swapping only the transmission adapter bracket instead of replacing the whole crossmember.

The crossmember (available separately) and this adapter bracket works with engine mounting brackets (available separately) for optimal engine placement to allow Short Runner Valve clearance (eliminates modifications to the firewall & brake booster). Hooker BlackHeart swap headers & exhaust systems (available separately) are designed as part of the swap system & provide clearance with all transmission options.

Features:

  • Mount the 8HP70/8HP90/9HP75 Automatic Transmission with your Gen III Hemi Swap in the 1972-1993 Dodge D100/D150 2WD Truck, 1987-2004 Dodge Dakota 2WD Truck, or 1973-1987 GM C10 2WD Truck

Who is Hooker Headers?

Hooker Headers is a company founded by Gary Hooker in 1962. It started when he decided to design a header for his 409 Chevrolet. Soon after, he realized a demand for headers in his area and decided to produce them commercially. Starting with a few employees in a building in South Ontario, CA, Hooker Headers was born.

Simple Yet Effective Design

The company’s philosophy is simple, to produce a header design that would make real and usable power by balancing the exhaust and intake pressure waves. It allows the engine to expel the burnt gas and draw in air for a better fuel and air mixture. This philosophy is evident to all of their products, making them one of the most sought-after brands.

Racing Heritage

During the 1960s and 1970s, Hooker Headers dominated the drag racing scene as almost all of the NHRA Pro Stock cars are using Hooker Headers. It is also used by legendary racers Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins, Sox & Martin, and Bob Glidden and was a regular during their campaigns. Up to this day, Hooker Headers holds the claim of the winningest header in drag racing history.
