Key Features
Making it possible to fit almost any GM transmission into your G-Body alongside an LS or LT, this updated transmission crossmember should be used with an aftermarket urethane transmission mount such as the Hooker Blackheart 71223029HKR or 71223030HKR or equivalent. | Due to the unique design geometry of this transmission crossmember, attempts to install it with headers and/or engine mounting plates/brackets other than those developed by HOOKER™ for this application will more than likely not be successful. When used with the related Hooker™ 12643HKR or BHS5179 engine mounting bracket kit, this CAD designed transmission crossmember will replicate the stock small block Chevy engine/transmission inclination angle and eliminate or minimize the need to adjust the rear pinion angle in stock to moderately lowered chassis applications. | Depending on the transmission, the following part numbers will be necessary: | *No additional adapter needed for TH400/200R4/T-56/Magnum. TH350 Transmissions can reuse the factory transmission crossmember, but the slots in the center of the crossmember will need to be elongated in the forward direction. | 12655HKR - 4L60/65/70/75 Transmission Adapter | 12656HKR - 4L80/85 Transmission Adapter | BHS5181 - 10L80/10L90 Car Transmission Adapter - must be used with BHS5182 (for G-Body) | BHS5182 - 6L80/90, 8L45/80/90, 10L80/90 Transmission Adapter | BHS5183 - Tremec TKX 5-Speed Transmission Adapter
Fits 1978-1988 GM A/G-Body - 4L60/4L80/6L80/8L90/10L80/TH400/2004R/TKX/T56/T56 Magnum/etc. Transmission Crossmember
- This LS and LT Swap Crossmember for the GM G-Body has some very minor design updates & has been updated from 12644HKR to part number 12644HKR-1
- Facilitates installation of a 4L60/4L65/4L70/4L80/TH400/2004R/T56/T56 behind an LS engine in 78-88 GM A/G Body applications (may require add-on bracket, see installation notes)
- Designed using CAD modeling/FEA analysis for optimal fitment, strength, weight, safety and appearance
- Welded steel construction
- Provides an optimized engine/transmission inclination angle that is critical to obtaining suitable U-joint working angles, when installed with Hooker 12643HKR engine mounts
- Designed in conjunction with other Hooker BlackHeart GM A/G-Body engine swap brackets to provide bolt-in installation of Hooker LS swap manifolds, headers and exhaust systems for this application
- Provides the highest clearance available for up to 3" dual exhaust system routing
