[BaadAssGremlins] Re: AMC crossmember & rear end interchange questions

["Bruce" <brahlf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Both the crossmember and the rear axle are too wide for the American.  Americans had their rear axle housing width.  Crossmember from any small body V 8 would work.  Or modify the existing mounts to work with a V 8. I think someone makes a kit for the mounts.
