all 77-88 Gremlin,Concord,Spirit & Eagle front clips interchange with each other basically the fenders are all the same the 79-83 Spirits 78-83 Concords and 81-88 Eagles are the same as the 77-78 Gremlins only they have a trim piece that covers where a single headlite was,the hoods will fit as well the only difference was the hump in the hood lets say i had a 77 Gremlin and needed a hood and found a 84 eagles i could use its hood no prob.

I am not sure about the Gremlin hood fitting but I know the 4 headlight Concord hood fits. I have a friend that put a 4 headlight Spirit nose on an early Gremlin. It was before I knew him so I only saw a few pic's of it. My disabilitys make a lot of things I used to do almost impossible, but I do a little at a time.
