Once again it's that "to maintain stock appearance" rule...even if a different mfg. powerplant is used. A midplate is ok, but not a front.
BTW, what combo is this Gremlin going to have? Is it the Gremlin that was at one of the Denton races? |

Notice who perked up immediately when the word Gremlin was mentioned! Of course I'm sure that person would have preffered Poncho Power. |

| You know, you could just take the motor plate off and weld up two lengths of steel tubing and put a flat plate on them and I think that would be called a front motor mount! Like on a 55-57 Chevy |
