I have a couple spare Small body V8 cross members . the hard part is the motor to mount brackets around here.

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
Why not build the Javelin for drag racing?
They make nice drag cars, I know as I have one.

I have 2 a 73 and a 74amx the mad is a parts car for the 73. The amx is really rough. The 73 is a total car I got at a auction dash 🔥 it has a real nice body and a good running 304. I like it as a cruiser not a full race machine.

I get $250.00 for cross members. but the hard thing is actually the metal brackets that bolt to the motor and attach to the mounts. big body cars are completely different.
