Yes, they're different for that reason -- on the spider. Don't believe the 
hoods (bonnets) are different on the sprints or saloons or SS's or TZ's, but 
then I don't have any of those, so I won't claim to be an expert.

I think I remember discussion on the 750/101 list about this very topic (and 
some mild flames about authenticity, but we won't go there) and the basic 
resolution is the proper set of engine mounts will make the difference. They 
may even be available off the shelf from one or more of the usual suppliers. 
You still get to fabricate a set of exhaust manifolds/headers and a few other 
things ... challenging is a good descriptive term for the effort.

Mr. Besic, you have a 2L in your 750/101 spider hot rod, don't you? Care to 
share?
