Thats not to say they can;t be adapted, and yes the motor plates are quite different. AHHHH....

As far as engine plates go ones other than the Gremlin, Hornet, Spirit, and Concord are taller but can possibly be used. Rubber and urathane motor mounts are readily availble at reasonable prices. Engine plates are avaliable from Galvins Rambler seperately or with one of their converted crossmember kits. A friend with a 6 cyl. Javelin put a V8 in it by makeing adapter plates to bolt it to the 6 cyl. crossmember. He also put a 258 from a Concord in a V8 74 Javelin to make it drivable. I have that Javelin in my garage now. To bad my son has decided to part it out.

No Problem. The reason I made the statment is I have seen all these cars and crossmembers and have them too except for the V8 Javelin with the 6 cyl crossmember. He drove that car for 4-5 years with a healthy 360 with no problems before he sold it a few years ago. You can make it up to me by buying the crossram manifold so I can collect some of the money my son owes me. LOL
