Hooker Blackheart 545RFE with NP241D Transmission And Transfer Case Adapter Bracket Dodge W100 | W150 4WD 1972-1993
$49.95
The BlackHeart team utilizes the latest technology and materials to design exhaust systems, engine swap kits, and mufflers for both import and domestic cars and trucks. Hooker BlackHeart is platform-engineered to provide superb performance, aesthetics, and fitment.

The Holley Gen III Hemi swap system for the 1972-1993 Dodge W100/W150 4WD trucks now supports the 545RFE 5-speed automatic transmission with NP241D transfer case. This mounting kit includes transmission mounting brackets, transfer case mounting brackets, transfer case shifter bracket, hardware, and detailed instructions. The steel brackets are heavy-duty for rough off-road applications and powder coated to resist corrosion.

This swap is economical since the factory crossmember, and driveshafts can be re-used (on trucks that came from the factory with NP435 4-speed or A727 transmission and NP208D transfer case).

Features:
  • The transmission mounting bracket kit allows installation of 545RFE transmission and NP241D transfer case with Gen III Hemi engine swap on the 1972-1993 Dodge W100/W150 4WD trucks
  • Use with Gen III Hemi Engines 2003 & Up 5.7/6.1/6.2/6.4-liter
  • Black powder-coated finish for durability and corrosion resistance
  • Steel construction – rigid design for demanding offroad conditions
  • Includes transmission & transfer case mounting brackets, mounting plate, hardware, and the transfer case shifter mounting bracket
  • Compatible with the Holley Gen III Hemi swap system using engine mounting brackets BHS5118 – the engine is installed in the optional 1-inch forward mounting position
  • The factory crossmember and driveshafts are re-used (on trucks that came from the factory with NP435 4-speed or A727 transmission & NP208D transfer case)
Install Instructions:Fitment:
  • Dodge W100/W150 4WD trucks 1972-1993
Note:
  • Use with Engine Mounting Bracket BHS5118, and Anchor 2638 Transmission Mount, 1985-1987 NP208 shifter assembly, and 1985-1987 shift linkage rod.
  • Modifications to the transfer case input shaft is required when the output shaft of the transmission is not splined deep enough to allow
  • the transmission and transfer case to be bolted together. This is common with 545RFE transmissions. The procedure is relatively simple, does not weaken the transfer case input shaft and is outlined in the instruction sheet.
  • This Transmission mounting bracket kit was designed specifically to install the 545RFE transmission and NP241D transfer case with GEN3 Hemi Engine swaps. It is for use in 72-93 W100 and W150 pickup trucks originally equipped with V8 engines, NP435, NP445, or A727 transmissions. Other base vehicle combinations may work but have not been verified at this time. Engine and transmission driveline inclination angles are acceptable for stock ride height and vehicles with up to 3 inches of suspension lift. Driveline and U-Joint operation angles should always be checked and corrected, if necessary, for your particular application.
  • Uses OEM front and rear drive shaft from NP435 4 speed or A727 transmission and NP208D transfer case combination.
  • Uses OEM 85-87 NP208D transfer case shifter and shift linkage rod (shifter mounting bracket supplied with BH5151 kit).
  • Drive shafts and components from other transmission transfer case combinations may work, but have not been verified.

Who is Hooker Headers?

Hooker Headers is a company founded by Gary Hooker in 1962. It started when he decided to design a header for his 409 Chevrolet. Soon after, he realized a demand for headers in his area and decided to produce them commercially. Starting with a few employees in a building in South Ontario, CA, Hooker Headers was born.

Simple Yet Effective Design

The company’s philosophy is simple, to produce a header design that would make real and usable power by balancing the exhaust and intake pressure waves. It allows the engine to expel the burnt gas and draw in air for a better fuel and air mixture. This philosophy is evident to all of their products, making them one of the most sought-after brands.

Racing Heritage

During the 1960s and 1970s, Hooker Headers dominated the drag racing scene as almost all of the NHRA Pro Stock cars are using Hooker Headers. It is also used by legendary racers Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins, Sox & Martin, and Bob Glidden and was a regular during their campaigns. Up to this day, Hooker Headers holds the claim of the winningest header in drag racing history.
