(I've got the full Holley LS swap system going in my 69 Camaro and it's great stuff, thanks for the all the work that has gone in to these great systems)

Hello rin68. Although I never attempted to installing an LS using the Hooker Blackheart swap components and that specific pan, my guess is you will experience interference between the front end of the pan and the steering center link if you try to do so. The Holley 302-2 and 302-3 pans are 1.25" tall at their front profile and the LH8/hot rod pan is 2.5" tall. There is about a 1" clearance gap between the 302-3 pan and the center link on our 64 project truck that I just took a look at and the 67-72 truck has a little more clearance, but not much.
