HOOKER BLACKHEART Engine Mount Brackets (1972-1993 DODGE W100 & W150 4WD HEMI)

OVERVIEW
Gen III Hemi engine swap mounting brackets for 1972-1993 Dodge W100/W150 4-wheel drive trucks. These engine mounting brackets have two engine mounting positions (stock factory bell-housing location or 1-inch forward). The factory location keeps the transmission/transfer case in the stock location to simplify the swap by re-using the transmission, transfer case, transmission crossmember, and driveshafts. The brackets also allow the optional 1-inch forward engine location - if needed for extra firewall clearance. Mount kit Includes mounting brackets, frame plates, engine isolators, and mounting hardware. Welded steel construction with black powder coated finish for durability and corrosion protection.

FEATURES:

• Mount the Gen III Hemi Engine in your 1972-1993 Dodge W100/W150 4-wheel drive truck
• Fits 4-wheel drive trucks that initially came from the factory with V8 or slant-6 engines with NP435, NP445, or A727 transmission

• Dual engine mounting position - choose from the original engine position to retain factory transmission, transfer case location & driveshafts, or choose a 1-inch forward engine position for extra firewall clearance
• Factory transmission crossmember is re-used and stays in the factory position - cost savings & simplifies swap by eliminating driveline changes
• Included engine mount brackets, frame plates, isolators, and attaching fasteners

• Recommended oil pan - stock factory truck (rear sump) Gen III Hemi oil pan

TECH RESOURCES
Fits trucks that came from the factory with a V8 or slant-6 engine (it does not work on V6 front crossmember).

NP435 and NP445 manual transmissions may require the input shaft pilot to be shortened approximately 5/8" to prevent bottoming out in the shallow counterbore of the GEN3 Hemi crankshaft flange. Always check the input shaft to crankshaft bottoming clearance before cutting the shaft.

Engines with short runner intake valves (SRV) will require minor firewall clearance
6.2L Supercharged engines will require minor firewall clearance for supercharger water manifold - EARLS low profile intercooler water manifold recommended PN: HEMI0005ERL
Car engines with rear exit heater pipes will need modification
OEM V8 Radiator will require upper radiator hose fabrication

The 1-inch forward engine postion will not work with the stock transmission mount and driveshafts
