Finally get to pretend I am one of the cool kids - Holley kit swap

Nice work @DionR didn’t Holley give up on a lot of that swap stuff? Have you just been hoarding it till now?
I’ll be watching your T56 install closely as I’m right there also. Are you using a prefab crossmember like a TodRon for the trans or building your own?

It’s not clear to me what they are doing. When I go to the Holley site and use their links (like Engine swap -> A-Body -> Exhaust) I get nothing. But if I plug in the part numbers I find it and it says in stock. The motor mounts show up as a kit only with mounts and crossmember, but I can find the mounts separate if I have a part number. No idea what they are doing. I know the headers are there, but they are about $250 more than what I paid for them.

I’ve been buying parts for a couple of years now. Sure glad to have them in hand unlike the guy that ordered a set of swap headers for a Dakota and had Holley discontinue them. But I would guess you still could buy everything including the headers again if need be.

I am building my own crossmember. The Holley mounts move the motor forward something like 1.75” so the ToddRon stuff would only be a start and I didn’t want to drop a bunch of money on something that I wasn’t sure would work. My plan is to figure stuff out and use SendCutSend to cut the parts. Time will tell.
