Who wishes to sell motor mounts for $100, even to me that is obscene. I bought a pair of them for my 71 SC/360 just two years ago at Auto Zone for $22 each! EN107 Kennedy American lists them for $12.50 each. But $100 each for motor mounts is just, well, nuts!

The steel mounts themselves is what they were talking about those are unique to the V8 Grem,Hornet,Concord and Spirit tho i'm using javelin ones on mine their taller but i don't think it really matters unless your running a auto and then you have to beat in the trans tunnel a lil like i did

Yes! I found a V8 Xmember that someone has ready to bolt in, painted, 
etc. for $300 and he wants $100 each for the motor mounts, shipping 
additional. THAT IS MORE THAN I PAID FOR THE ENTIRE CAR, ENGINE, 
TRANSMISSION, DRIVE SHAFT, EXTRA DOORS, BUMPER, ETC COMBINED!!!!! 

I'm sorry, I know I need this piece, but I have to watch my budget. I 
will contact Galvin's and find out about the 6 cylinder conversion 
although I wonder about it holding up? I also wonder about what this 
other guy said....He claimed I could USE the Javelin Xmember, but I 
thought it was too wide? If I can use it, I might as well get one of 
the 2 local ones available if this is the case. At least save $30 - 
40 shipping costs.

Guess I need to be patient....hard for me to do, especially since the 
weather is getting nicer & I am anxious to get this project going 
full speed. Maybe the Daytona Beach show will have some finds! -Lu-

It looks like a nice kit if you have the money. But at almost 3 times 
the price she was gonna get it for,,,,,,too much in my book.(but 
then, I try to get the best possible deals and I don't mind elbow 
grease) I paid 135 for mine with shipping including the motor mount 
brackets. The deals come arround you just gotta be dilligent. >
