Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
Just to confirm this is the correct part number for installing a 6L80E in my 69 C10? The website indicated it was only for the T56 transmission.
71222024HKR I just recently purchased a 2010 Camaro SS and going to start the process of stripping it down to be the donor car for my '69 Step-side. I want to reuse as much of this car as possible and it looks like this LS swap system is the direction I want to go to bolt it in. Just not sure if I can keep the Camaro oil pan or if I need to buy the Holley 302-2 or 302-3 while I'm at it. Thanks, Trent |

Hey Trent. The stock oil pan on the 2014 and up truck L83 will not work without modifications to either the cross member or the oil pan. It's about 4 or 5 inches taller than the swap pan from Holley. I tried to make my L83 fit in my 72 C10 and quickly came to that realization. The motor would be too far back in the chassis if I allowed a safe oil pan ground clearance and wouldn't fit under the hood if I placed it over the cross member. The only solution my pea brain could muster was to clearance the cross member. It was quite the hack so I added all kinds of structure to the inside of the cross member before I closed it up. If I had waited longer it sure would have made it a lot easier.

Thanks for the responses guys. I think i'll just order the Holley pan while i'm ordering the swap brackets. I'd like to use the camaro pan so I can keep the factory engine sealed up but guess its not in the cards. Guess the benefit will be not having to buy 8 quarts of oil to fill the new pan up, like the stock camaro pan. :)
Looks like Holley has some trans spacers for other kits for the 6L80E so I may just buy a one of the others and some shims to temporary get to 11/16" in height. I'm sure the actual spacer will be released before I get all the wiring and plumbing done and ready for a test drive again. |

Does anyone know if the Blackheart exhaust system will work with the ECE transmission and trailing arm crossmembers? I already have both installed on my truck. After looking at the pictures, I think it will work, but would like to confirm before ordering the system.

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
I'm glad EddyC brought this back up to the top. I didn't see this thread when it was started.
Just yesterday I discovered the engine mounts I got from another source didn't line up very well with my frame and crossmember. I also discovered their trans crossmember is tight up to the inside of the frame on both sides, which doesn't leave room to run wiring and brake/fuel lines inside the frame. I really like the design of these engine mounts since they mount in the holes that are further back on the top of the frame and the back hole on the crossmember. Not sure why other designs mount forward and then cantilever back. Looks like if I order today I can pick them both up at Summit in Arlington on the 7th. |

We just finished installing this 2.5" side exit exhaust on my 67. The exhaust hit my trans crossmember and crossover hit the tailshaft, so a couple mods were necessary for us. We couldn't have built an exhaust system from stainless steel for less than this Holley system.

Thanks again for the info. I will take a few more measurements this weekend, but I think the 2.5 inch exhaust will work with the ECE dropmember. I slid under the truck and took a quick measurement. The exhaust holes have a 3.25 diameter and the center to center measurement is 22 inches. I will take a closer look on Saturday.

Look at the pdf of the holley instructions. I believe the holes in the crossmember have to be 5.5" from the frame rail. The exhaust ran right into the trans crossmember. We modified it to mimic the new holley trans crossmember.

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
Good point. I read the instructions. The exhaust holes need to be a minimum of 3.75 diameter.

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
I have a question about which Holley pan will be even with or above the engine crossmember? 302-2 or 302-3 ... what would be the main differences in the pans?
I also notice the recommended bolt kit for the engine mounts 71223015HKR says they are 150mm long and the recommended bolts according to the instructions are 140mm long. which is correct? |
Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
Does anyone have a sound clip of this system installed? It would be cool to hear the difference between the 2.5 a 3 inch system. I planned to go with the Borla ProXS, but I'm trying to keep an open mind.
