Not sure if this is a good spot for it but, I had a time trying to figure out what oil filter fits on the Holley 302-2 LS swap oil pan with their supplied oil filter adapter. It's an M22x1.5mm adapter so any GM oil filter pre-2007 wont fit AFAIK. Have to use an interchange for the ACDelco PF48 (short) or PF63(long).

 

Thanks for breaking the ice GenPac. This is as good a place as any to mention the 302-2 oil filter requirement, I'm sure someone ready your post will appreciate the info.

 

I've been cking the Holley site weekly and the mounts seemed to be always on back order. I called Friday and spoke to tech support and the guy was absolutely no help on any release information. He said it could be 2 weeks or more than a month??

 

I ordered my first set on Feb10th through Jegs when they were backordered and received them on or about the 25th, drop shipped from Holley. I just ordered my second set this Saturday, this time from Holley direct. We'll see how long it takes. Two weeks is not bad, but I bet it will get better.

 

Both versions of the brackets have been released and have been shipping, but it's possible the first production runs have sold out already. I don't track availability of parts beyond their initial release, so I can't say what their status is without getting into the system.

 

Badride, I checked the system this morning and both sets of brackets are showing B/O at the moment. There is high interest in these parts and the fact that they're new means it will take a couple of production runs to establish appropriate min balances to ensure availability. If you are interested in a set of either, my advice would be to place an order so that you are locked-in for a set from the next production run as pending orders are shipped out first.

 

Ok, I'll order a set. I know you said this thread was for tech help so, I have a 2000 Yukon for my drivetrain (5.3/4L60), I need to order the forward position mounts, 302-2 pan and a smaller power steering pulley, is this correct? Any suggestions on pulley size/brand? And also with this setup, will I be able to use all of the factory accessories including AC? Will the truck intake clear the stock flat hood? Does Holley offer any other header that will fit beside the stainless, this is a budget build and 1000.00 set of headers is not feasible? Thanks

 

Yes, your parts list is correct. You'll need to swap out the power steering pulley for one from another vehicle and I don't remember which it is off the top of my head; I can do some research over the next couple of days and get back to you with an answer.

The truck A/C compressor will install with your set-up, but I can't tell you if the truck intake will clear your hood as It was not tested for fitment.

There will be mild steel versions of the headers offered within a few months, so you can hold off on that purchase until then if that will fit your project time frame.

 

Thanks Todd, it's nice to have parts and info on this project without having to guess if it will work or not. Not in a big hurry for the headers so that time frame will be good.

 

Any pics with the A/C installed with these mounts?

Are you referring to a specific A/C compressor, or the A/C evaporator case?

 

The compressor. I'm looking to low mount my ac and haven't found mounts that will work.

 

What specific compressor and accessory drive set-up are you planning on using?

 

I don't have one at the moment. Still planning it all out. Just trying to find the right mount that will allow the low mount ac without frame modification.

 

These three images would be the most descriptive I have in showing you the clearance provided by the Hooker brackets for low mounting an A/C compressor. These engine brackets shown are the rear-biased set that maintains the stock location of the eng/transmission mating plane; the compressor shown is the stock truck compressor, which many swappers have successfully used since it is a fixed displacement unit. If you use the forward biased engine bracket set, the clearances get even better than what is shown here.

 

That is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the pics.

 

I've ordered my Holley pan and mounts, (due to ship by the 30th/fingers crossed) is there a certain rubber mounts that you suggest or can I just use OE 5.3 mounts like what are on it now (2000 Yukon)?

 

You need to order 4th-gen F-body mounts.

 

What kind of tunnel mods did you have to do with the pictured mounts you posted and a 4l80 tranny?

 

Installing a 4L80 while using the forward-biased Hooker A-body brackets requires no tunnel cutting at all; installing a 4L80 while using the rear-biased Hooker engine brackets would require cutting/rebuilding the tunnel surrounding the rear extension housing of the transmission.

 

ok so how far forward do the forward mounts set the engine?All i would need is your mounts and trans cross member to install and 4th gen motor mounts correct? I really dont want to cut any of my tunnel,Thanks

 

Use of the forward bias mounting brackets will relocate the stock position of the engine/transmission mating plane forward by 1.25". Due to the fact that the LS block is 1" shorter than a SB Chevy engine, the net effect of using the forward-bias engine brackets will be to place the front of the LS engine block 1/4" further forward than where the front of a stock SB Chevy engine would be in the car. The LS cylinder heads/valve covers will end up in the same approximate fore/aft location that the SB Chevy cylinder heads/valve covers are at.

Yes, you will need the 71221006HKR engine brackets, 71222007HKR transmission crossmember, Holley 302-2 oil pan and a set of 4th-gen F-body engine mounts to get the engine and trans mounting in the chassis.

At that installed position, you can use the truck accessory drive by swapping out the PS pump pulley for one of a smaller diameter, the Holley or Corvette accessory drives as-is, or the F-body accessory drive by relocating the low-mount alternator to the upper mount position with aftermarket brackets such as the Holley alt/PS pump bracket set-up.

 

Is that cross member available yet? i dont see it on the holley site anywhere? Thanks

 

No, the crossmember is not yet available, but I anticipate that it will be within the next 2-4 weeks.

 

Ok no problem dont need it just yet anyway thanks for all the info

 

Hey Todd, curious if you have heard anything about mounts coming in any time soon, looks like now according to the website it is the 14th for them to come in and that date keeps changing each day. Is this for all orders or just new ones, I've tried calling but after sitting on hold for 30 mins I gave up. Thanks for any help you can give.

 

I'll see what I can find out and post up an answer tomorrow.

 

Off topic I know, But I'm putting a 5.3 in a 1966 B body (Biscayne) and would like to know if your department has done any research on these cars. The end result will be a twin turbo car.
Info on engine mounts, FEAD systems with a/c and oil pan.

 

I'm useless to you in regards to B-body LS swap info as I've never laid my hands on one and there's no current plans for them on my development schedule.

 

Nothing yet, I'm waiting for a response from our facility in Mississippi where they ship from. Do you have an order in for them? If not, I would put one in as backorders will be the first to be filled once stock is replenished.

 

Yes, ordered the mounts and pan on March 16th, received the pan a few days later but nothing on mounts. When I ordered it showed the 30th for the mounts and each day if you ck it goes up a day and now says the 14th. Calling the 1-866 line is useless. But they were glad to take my money up front.

 

I can understand your frustration. Unfortunately, backorders of new products is more probable than existing products due to a lack of sales history information to properly adjust the min balance of the item in question. If the timeline of your project doesn't permit you to wait for them, you can always cancel your order and go a different direction. Are you getting that ship date info from Summit Racing, or somewhere else?

 

Figured it would have been quickest getting from Holley, and I understand this is the approximate date that Holley would receive them but when you click "add to cart" the original date was 3/30/2016 (each day it has gone up)...........

That item was added to the cart. But please note that the quantity you ordered is more than what we have in stock and 1 will be backordered. The expected availability date for the backorderd items will be 04/14/2016.

 

I ordered mine in Febuary and still not received. We are three weeks out till I'll need them hopefully they arrive before then. I really was hoping to not have to cut my tunnel.

 

Woo Hoo!!! We have a tracking number, can't wait to try out some of Todd's craftsmanship!!!!

 

My mounts finally shipped today!!! Can't wait to get this started!
