: Dan; the cross member you are referring to is the trans mount, not the engine/frame mounts for the engine. In a Mopar, the K-frame up front has to be changed to put in a V-8 for a 6, or big-block from a small block. What you need is the V-8 trans mount, because it has 2 humps vice 1 on the I-6 mount, for the dual exhaust, which I know you will want. The 6cyl mount will work, but you will have to bend the exhaust pipes down on the one side. Hope this helps, and welcome to the board.

Thanks Earl, that bit of info might just make the difference in me buying the Mav or not. I was worried about swapping that k-member. Thanks again for clearing that up.
