Re: Any use these hooker motor mounts

You dont want those. For SBC adapter plates, you want 1" setback style that dont have the holes lined up evenly



1" setback is a misnomer, it actually puts the BH in the stock location so your DS will fit without modification. Also, note the holes for the clamshell and engine block dont line up. This is taking the plate thickness into account so you dont have to force the long bolt through

You can also use the hawks/spohn engine stands, but be aware they leave the engine slightly crooked

Actually, those look like the holes do line up, so scratch them too



Thats more like it

I know this already... The Hooker adapter I have has the bracket built into. So everything is done. Just built it in. Now incase off future problems, I just really wanna know has anyone used them with 4l60e ?
