Shopper Award

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

The transmission crossmember is a modular design that allows the use of several different transmissions and uses a unique mounting bracket for each type of transmission (available separately for TKX, 8HP70/8HP90/9HP75, NAG1, TR6060, 545RFE/46RH/46RE, or A727 transmissions). This design allows future transmission changes by swapping only the transmission mounting bracket instead of replacing the whole crossmember.

This crossmember works with engine mounting brackets BHS561 (available separately) to locate the engine in the optimal location to eliminate modifications to the firewall and brake booster. Hooker BlackHeart swap headers & exhaust systems (available separately) are designed as part of the swap system & provide clearance with the transmission option.

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.
