Hooker Blackheart S10 LS Swap Parts Final Review
Hooker Blackheart has a pretty new product line for LS swapped first gen S10s. I couldn't find any reviews on these parts online, so I decided to see for myself what they're all about. This video is my final review of how well they fit. My first impression video can be seen here: • Hooker Blackheart S10 ...

Exactly the info I needed. Thank you for taking the time to make this video & to include a list with links of the parts used!
Thank you so much for the impossible to find info. I've been sitting here staring at the "cart" total at Summit Racing hoping it worth the plunge. Good Luck with the rest of your build, I'll be following along!
Thanks for the info! Just ran into your videos. I’ll be watching!
Great review! I am doing the same with the Holley parts, great quality and a huge time saver.
Im really amazed at how good your door shut without slamming it 3 more times.
Like a glove, Holley makes some nice stuff! Thanks man!

No problem! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Dirty dingo makes a a/c bracket that fits on the pass. side upper and holds a r4 compressor. The aftermarket compressors make the pressure funny for the AC to work properly. Run the r4 compressor and you can use factory lines with a little tweaking and have factory parts
Hey man thank you for this very informative video. Your video is the reason I went with the HBH series. However, I have a question...which steering shaft are you using? I bought the HBH steering shaft, & it wants to hit.
I would like to see more detail photos of the steering shaft area sincethat is the problemmed are on the driver sid when in stallinf headers. Thanks Rod
Did you manage to get the motor & trans to go in together or did you drop the motor in first then put the trans in?
Thanks a bunch. I know you filmed this a while ago but could you tell me about the clearance around the steering box and ps pump.

Not a problem. I'm running Corvette accessories, so others may be different, but the PS pump/pulley sit pretty much directly above the steering box. There's definitely enough clearance to run the lines, but the pressure line will have to be pretty short, possibly custom made. I'll post updates as I go. Thanks for watching!
Like you I couldn't find any reviews on their blackheart line of products. I am in the middle of a swap in my 83 S10. The evaporator cover does not work for mine, the bolt holes do not line up. I looked at it for a couple minutes today, first to see if i got the right one, I did get the 82 -93. must have been at least two types of covers on those years of S10's. I am calling Holley tomorrow to see. Anyway cool build, subscribed.
Did you have to notch the frame anywhere for the LS swap? I'm considering of doing the swap but not sure I want to notch up the frame or if I should just turbo my 4.3L.
How did you get the stock motor mounts off? How did you get access to the nuts on the end of the motor mount bolts that are under the frame?
Will the stock top control arm interfair with the headers?
Do you think the header will work on a 97 s10 with a 6.0l with cwp motor mount??
Is it for any ls swap I am doing 5.3ls vortec for mine any tips?
A light would be nice
How did you get the motor to go down that low, I have the dirty dingo mounts and it sits like 5-7 inches higher than yours

I used the Hooker Blackheart mounts. And headers. And everything else. This video is my review of the Hooker Blackheart LS swap product line for the S10
Do you have fbody camaro seats in the truck?
Final thoughts I have a 96 s10 SS I want to do a 6.0 swap….
What's the part number for the headers
Do you think it be just as good as yours in my 99 Sonoma ?
What year is your Corvette engine. Because it seems to me that the aircondioning compresser should be on top of the engine. My good friend had a C4 Corvette and that's where his aircondioning compresser was.

That's because C4 Corvettes still used a Gen 2 small block, not the new style LS small block. Most LS engines use a low mount AC compressor
Which headers did you use ??
Got a part number for headers?are they long tube or short?

There's a link in the description. I went with the 1 3/4" primaries. They also make 1 7/8". Both options are mid-length
The headers for your setup is no longer available. Not sure why they seemed to fit pretty good
I think holley hooker makes a BOLT ON FRONT OF THE ENGINE ac compressor newcomes with it power steering pump with res""alternator new crank dampner bet and tensioner the whole 9 yards on the front of your engine total package at around $3000.00 no joke!!!!
Hello brother, how do I get the headers, do you know part number?

Cheeky Garage Nice! do you think the truck accessory drive system will clear? Particularly the ps pump to steering gear? Or will I have to relocate the pump? If so I have my eyes on the ict billet alt/ps relocation brackets that make the front of the motor look like a sbc.

I couldn't tell ya exactly. This is my first LS swap, and I found a bunch of contradicting info online regarding truck accessories. I decided to go with a Corvette LS1 partially due to the front drive setup

Cheeky Garage yeah same here lol. This will also be my first LS swap. A couple boxes of my Hooker kit (520-71221029K4) came in today. Got the pan, mounts, and cross member. Still waiting on the headers and urethane bushings for the clam shell mounts. Getting excited! Kinda worried about fitment around the steering box, but we’ll see lol. Im thinking about mounting a reservoir to the fender, running both lines to it to bypass the pump, and have “manual” steering with a faster than manual ratio.
What year s10 is this? Im wanting to do the same to my 94

Wish I would of watched this video. I got cheap crap from v8s10.com headers suxs bad, like waste of money. After banging the shit out of everything. Just to find out, great now custom plug wires. Your truck looking good tho
Wondering does anyone have a good video of an s10 running with the full black heart single outlet exhaust. I'm hoping it's not too loud and I can use electronic cutouts when I want to be noticed
WOW ! When you took that piece of Worthless plastic off at 1:38 and you could actually see the engine ! That's the first time I had ever seen the actual engine and not that plastic Bull$hit , That's the reason I never like those engines , You couldn't see them for Plastic Crap
