Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
The truck that was used to develop the parts from the Hooker Blackheart swap system is being assembled as a project vehicle and I thought some of you might be interested in seeing how it comes together. Here's a few shots I took today.

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
Toddoky,
Can you give me a few details on which engine, accessory setup, headers you guys used for the test mule? Or did I miss it somewhere in this thread? Thanks.

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
Are you able to explain to me why this system, or others might not require the use of flexible exhaust joints (i.e. short braided stainless couplings) at or near the headers? Systems with "X" or "H" pipes seem awfully rigid to me. It appears that they might benefit from using some type of flexible couplings. Curious to know. Thanks.

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
Did your V pan end up clearing? I’m thinking of going this route.

For those following this thread, the Hooker Blackheart long-tube LS swap headers shown above in post #102 have been released and are listed on the Holley website.

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
So how did the fit up go on the 64 you had in the lab in January? Have you been able to see what parts of the 67 to 72 stuff will cross over?

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
Yes, we worked through the validation and design process on the 63-66 C10 application and I can report that there will be specific engine mounting brackets and headers that will be released for them that will be based on the use of the same motor mounts we used for the 67-72 C10 shown in this thread. The transmission crossmember will be shared between the application as will the exhaust systems after a small revision is made to the rear tailpipe hanger brackets.

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
Is there a time frame for this? Getting close to time to start on the 65.

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
Hello Jimmy. If you are in immediate need of parts, those specific Hooker Blackheart parts won’t be helpful to you. They have made it past the prototyping stage, but all of the pre-production tooling, documentation and first production run requirements that are still in-process will put their availability out somewhere around 4 months from now.

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
Hello, do you make a downpipe to go from Hooker ls cast manifolds to the blackheart exhaust system? I have been all over the website and summit but can't find one. found several for cars but not 70 c10. Also how is the clearance for shifter linkage with the headers. the pics above don't show a steering column and linkage. thanks

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
Thank you for the reply and will be watching for the info to come out. on a side note has anyone used this exhaust system along with nolimit parts such as shock relocation kits and adjustable panhard rod system? looking at pics things might get tight. thanks for any input.

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
From the photos I looked at of both of those No Limit parts during my development research I’d have to say that neither of them would be usable with the Hooker Blackheart exhaust systems due to them needing to occupy the same physical space as the exhaust system tubing in multiple areas. The driver side over-axle tube will only clear the stock panhard bar frame anchor bracket used on the 1965-up trucks.

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
I just got the mounts installed. The CTSV pan does clear. The bottom of the pan is flush with the crossmember. The holley mounts dropped the engine just over 1" compared to my dirty ding sliders. The stock fan shroud fits with 1.5 removed from the circle. I am using the stock 6.0.cooling fan.

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
While I'm checking in to this thread I thought I post some pics of the 1970 C10 development truck in its current state of assembly.

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
72MARIO; thanks for the update, I appreciate it.
Toddoky; that’s a good looking stepper, thanks for sharing. What size wheel/tire combo is it running?

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
I'm not sure about the wheel/tire package sizes used as I had no involvement with the assembly of the truck. I will have to provide the info at a later time as the truck has left the engineering lab temporarily, so I don't have access to it to be able to gather that information off of it.

Re: Hooker Blackheart 1967-72 C10 Truck LS/LT Swap System Info Thread
The truck found its way back to the lab...the wheels are 18" x 8" on front and back and the tires are 225/60R on the front and 250/60R on the rears.
