I've been tossing the idea of building a spirit as my drag car in a few years I was wondering if a amc javelin v8 k member would work ?

The Bulltear mounts are fine if you have welding and fabrication skills. If you're going to farm the work out it's better to wait on a small car cross member and plates. Just my .02 cents.

The ones listed are the ones you want, they fit many car models. Might be best to call there about them. The other option is to purchase a factory v-8 crossmember and the engine block plates [mounts], at a larger cost. Both ways will work. Spirits make great race cars! SH

 Let me rephrase my post. Do you have any welding experience? These mounts have to be engineered to lay in the engine compartment at the right location for engine clearance, correct height for exhaust clearance, transmission mounting.  If you've never done work like this wait till you find the correct small car cross member setup.

I think I can do it I'm a auto body tech with 15 years in it and weld every week . but I've never made a engine fit anything. I imagine there be some test fiting like engine tranny. Have too get drive shaft made. Would have too find a amc 20 rear that would fit . I have javelin but I would quess there way too wide
