Re: Gremlin tranmission crossmember interchange - 6, V-8 the same?

["Jim Blair" <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A: I think the Gremlin and Concord/Hornet/Spirit trans crossbars interchange 
(not Eagle or SX4 due to the transfercase clearance built into them) I don't 
recall the mounts being different from the 8 to the 6, but since they mount 
in different places, unless the 6 had a 727 and the V8 had a 998, the 
driveshafts are unlikely to be the same. (I discovered with the full size 
Jeeps that 6 cyl with 727/999 and NP208 rear driveshaft is close enough to 
swap with V8 727/999 and NP219/228/229. The 6 cyl shaft is actually 2" 
longer overall, so it would work well with the 3" to 5" lifted V8 setup)

"  I would like to know two things, are the rear tranny

" change the yoke, or need a special V-8 Gremlin
" driveshaft? Thanks,

dunno about the crossmembers but i'd be -very- surprised if
driveshafts were the same.
