Hooker Blackheart Engine Swap Motor Mount Kits 12621HKR ??
 

Anyone use them? Stock bellhousing position?


Eliminating the clam shell mounts would open a bunch of clearence. I want the NV4500 to sit in the exact same position for driveshaft, transmission crossmember, and shifter hole reasons. I am going with a boosted setup and building a turbo log manifold from scratch, but it would make my life a lot easier if I could reuse the factory 10S20F Denson style compressor and mount. It would eliminate any reason to move the battery too.

Thanks.

Bump....

I was waiting to see if you got any feedback.

I did a x-member sectioning for my old bronze/gold 68 years ago w/a 73-80 x-member as my starting point. When I swapped it between my 68's frame rails after sectioning it, I used a set of tubular style 67-72 engine towers/stands. My set-up required some 1/2" spacers (because the x-member & rails are different between the year models). I would bet they would still just bolt-in for a square. I don't recall specifically where they came from but believe I got them through POL or CPP. A quick google search came up w/this image which is what they looked like but I couldn't find them just glancing @ the POL site....

I used 63-72 Tubular Engine Stands for my quick search.

I appreciate the reply, I ended up buying Hooker/Holley LS mounts that replace the clam shells altogether. Says they will work with a factory bracket (with some minor triming) and going to use Denso 10S20F compressor (fixed displacement with rear air Tahoe/Suburban/Escalade.

I appreciate the reply, but every link you posted (minus the plates) is for 4wd....not 2wd.

Re: Any Tubular Engine Stand/Mount Options??
 

you never said and nv4500 most guys do them in 4wd .

no problem .

i dont see why you cant use the replacement mounts only to swap the clam shell stuff out . call and ask them to see if they will fit .

and if ditching floor shifted 4 speed like a sm465 the nv4500 hole will be further back as the top cover is different location . unless you found one for a old box truck setup .

here is a 4 speed hump not punched out and the new location of the nv4500 shifter tower is the single boot . all gm parts and locations .

I used Dirty Dingo swap mounts for an S10 on the block and built my own tubular stands from there.

Re: Any Tubular Engine Stand/Mount Options??
 

dirty dingo is a rude guy . sold me crappy parts and sent me more crap parts . tried to buy me off to keep my mouth shut but that didnt work for him .

Used Hooker mounts....

After hours of modification they do work.
