Hooker: Exhaust Manifolds for GM LS

October 12, 2017October 12, 2017 David Ayers Leave a comment

Now available with 2.5” outlets, these LS exhaust manifolds from Hooker offer improved flow and hug the engine block to be suitable for a variety of replacement and engine-swap applications. Their contoured design shunts the exhaust directly to the exit port for improved flow, while the cast-iron construction offers years of leak-free performance—with less under-hood noise than traditional headers. Plus, their shorty design means you can route exhaust tubing close to your frame/floor pan for maximum ground clearance.

Five finishes available: Natural Cast (8502HKR), Silver Ceramic (8502-1HKR), Black Ceramic (8502-3HKR), Titanium Ceramic (8502-4HKR), and Cast Iron Gray Ceramic (8502-5HKR).

Features

For GM LS engine swap applications where durability, quiet operation, and leak-free sealing is desired.
5” outlet diameter for improved flow.
Nickel-plated steel mating flanges, MLS mating flange gaskets, and mating flange hardware included.
High-silicon/moly ductile iron for durability and corrosion resistance.
Tight tuck design fits most popular chassis and offers a clean muscle car appearance.
Perfect complement to Hooker engine swap mount plates and Holley engine swap oil pans.
Five finishes: as-cast or four colored ceramic coatings.

Hedman Hedders (69030): Easier-to-Install Long-Tube Headers for S-10 Small Block V8

August 11, 2017August 11, 2017 David Ayers Leave a comment

What makes Hedman Hedders’ new long-tube headers for S-10 small-block V8 special? They have a one-piece, in-frame design that facilitates installation, unlike many other competing products.

These provide higher performance than cast manifolds or short-tube headers. They feature 16-gauge mild-steel primary tubes, stout 3/8” flanges, and Hedman’s gasket-less ball/socket-style collector. You can get these tubes uncoated, in polished silver, and in satin-black ceramic-metallic coated (Black Maxx) to fit the overall look and feel of your ride.

The 69030 gives users another high-performance header option from Hedman, one that offers more torque for stroker applications, particularly in high-RPM WOT situations.

Features

For S-10/S-15 small-block V8.
One-piece, in-frame design for an easier installation.
16-gauge mild steel.
Three finishes available.

Though ultimately rewarding, putting a new-era GM LS V8 motor into a classic GM muscle car can be a complex undertaking. The key to a less-stressful swap lies in finding aftermarket parts that work well together, and Hedman Hedders’ LS Engine Swap-in-a-Box kits do just that!

Each Hedman kit comes with a special engine swap oil pan and pickup, a full set of engine swap mounts/pads, and a complete set of engine swap headers with gaskets/mounting hardware; plus, select kits also include a transmission crossmember and mount pad.

Features

Streamline your next LS engine swap.
For LS-based passenger cars.
