Hooker Blackheart Gen III Hemi swap exhaust manifolds are one part of a fully engineered swap system that provides maximum component clearances and ideal drivetrain geometry. These manifolds are designed to fit a wide range of swap applications where clearance is limited. Fitment has been confirmed on several popular platforms, including 1987-2004 2WD Dakota, 1972-1993 2WD D100/D150, 1966-1972 B-body with manual steering box, and 1970-1974 Mopar E-Body with manual steering box when using the Holley swap system components.

These exhaust manifolds are cast from hi-silicon-moly ductile iron and feature 2.5-inch 2-bolt collectors. These manifolds provide clearance to the brake booster, steering shaft, steering box, starter motor (both left & right side-mounted starters) and provide clearance for several automatic & manual transmission options.

Product Fitment:

  • Gen III Hemi swap exhaust manifolds - a compact, High Flow design with a factory look that is ideal for engine swaps with limited space
  • Choose from plain as-cast, black ceramic, or silver ceramic finishes - ceramic finish reduces underhood heat and resists corrosion
  • Intended for Gen III Hemi engine swap applications where durability, quiet operation, and leak-free sealing are desired
  • Cast from heavy-duty hi-silicon-moly ductile iron for long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance
  • 2.5-inch outlet diameter offers improved flow for maximum performance from cast iron exhaust manifold
  • Includes collector flanges, Multi-Layer stainless Steel (MLS) collector gaskets, and bolts - that make it easy to fabricate downpipes
  • Works with left or right-hand side starters and all popular transmissions
  • The slotted bottom row of holes makes it easy to install (on pre-installed lower bolts and gasket for each cylinder head)
  • Ideal for use in applications that require catalytic convertors

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.
