Their design also clears common front suspension components, making them an ideal choice for enthusiasts seeking a clean, professional installation with maximum ground clearance.
Key Features:
Hooker BlackHeart headers offer a range of features tailored to the unique demands of Gen III Hemi swaps in Mopar A-Body cars:
- Compatible with both driver side and passenger side starters, with a recommendation for left-hand side starters on Mopar A-Body applications
- Mandrel-bent tubing for smooth exhaust flow and improved performance
- Merged collector design to optimize exhaust scavenging and reduce backpressure
- Clearance for Borgeson Power steering boxes (part numbers 800126 and 800127)
- Designed to clear torsion bar front suspension components, maximizing ground clearance
- Starter can be installed or removed without removing the headers, simplifying maintenance
- Part of a comprehensive Gen III Hemi swap system ensuring compatibility with related components
Construction & Design:
These headers are crafted from premium 304 stainless steel, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability. Each header is hand-welded to exacting standards, ensuring a precise fit and superior structural integrity. The mandrel-bent tubing maintains consistent diameter throughout bends, which promotes efficient exhaust gas flow and helps improve engine performance. The merged collector design further enhances exhaust scavenging, contributing to smoother power delivery.
The design prioritizes ease of installation and practical fitment, with careful engineering to clear suspension and steering components commonly found on Mopar A-Body chassis. The polished stainless steel finish not only provides a striking appearance but also resists rust and discoloration over time, making these headers a lasting upgrade for your classic Mopar.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the Hooker BlackHeart Gen III Hemi Swap Headers is straightforward, especially when used as part of the complete Gen III Hemi swap kit. The headers are designed to fit 1973 and 1974 Mopar A-Body vehicles equipped with Gen III Hemi engines, accommodating popular transmission options and starter locations. The ability to install or remove the starter without header removal reduces labor time and complexity.
These headers clear the torsion bar front suspension and Borgeson power steering boxes, eliminating the need for modifications or clearance issues. Their design maximizes ground clearance, making them suitable for street and performance applications where chassis clearance is critical.
What's Included:
- Pair of Hooker BlackHeart Gen III Hemi Swap Stainless Steel Headers (Left and Right)
- Collector flange and necessary mounting points for integration with Gen III Hemi swap components
- Installation hardware is typically sold separately; verify with your supplier
Ideal For:
