[BaadAssGremlins] Re: do you HAVE to have the correct motor mounts for a V8 Gremlin?




Bart,
I don't know if this will help, but I have a related question and it 
may help us both if we get an answer. I bought a V8 crossmember out 
of a 66 Rambler American as well as the motor mount brackets that 
came with it. The 360 engine out of the 77 Matador had motor mount 
brackets on it as well. These sets of motor mounts are different. The 
pair from the 66 are not as 'tall' as the ones from the 77. I know 
both sets of brackets will fit into the V8 crossmember and bolt onto 
the 360, but which pair will work best putting the 360 into a 
Gremlin? Will the difference in height make that much of a difference 
using the V8 (I am thinking of hood clearance)?
