How do you think those hookers flow versus stock logs or shortys? They definitely look good

I think they will flow alot better than the OEM manifolds and probably better than alot of shorties. The stock replacement style shorties neck down into an opening the size of the stock donut gasket. The shorties may offer a little better scavenging, but they all neck down to that ~2.0-2.25" opening to fit the stock exhaust. I wish they had a flange to reuse the stock donut, because the HD exhaust is a bit more open than the shorties at the flange. I think the Holley Hooker manifolds will easily make as much if not more power than most shorties. My buddy uses the Summit LS version of these on most of his LS C10 swaps and they seem to do quite well even at 6,000-6,500 rpm. They cast these manifolds with Molybendum Silicon in the material and the casting is incredibly smooth. These also have raised D-port exhaust ports as well which makes them nice for engines that have 0.100" raised exhaust ports like the Edelbrock ETec heads do.How do you think those hookers flow versus stock logs or shortys?

Oh I know, but honestly I prefer the cast iron. My 8.1 has an alternator setup that has to weigh 70 lbs. Steel bracket, 2 alternators, 3 idlers.It's nice that the smallblock ac/ps accessory bracket is aluminum. The bb one is cast iron and weighs about 30 lb.
Reservoir swaps right over. I would pick up a seal kit and reseal the thing just to make sure it does not leak though.Question: could you swap a normal reservoir onto that van pump? The van unit looks the same as what is is my dad's Monte, which came from a motorhome. I'm hoping I can just zap this non-hydroboost reservoir that came off my 1500 onto that pump. I have no need for a remote reservoir on the Monte, PS pump access is super easy on it.
