Will it be 'wild'? Yes. Will it be 'better'. Not in the eyes of most AMCers. I personally would part out an AMC before dropping a non-AMC mill in it. I'd rather see 10 other cars improved by my parts than keep my one car going with another maker's engine supplying the power. If you need power, a 401 will haul a Gremmie big time. If you **MUST** stuff another makers motor in it, I'd say 'stay in the family' and stuff a 440 in it. But Mopar is as far as I'd ever condone straying. For me, a GM engine in an AMC is pure sacrilege. John www.JavelinAMX.com -----Original Message----- From: hemmigremmie [mailto:hemmigremmie@xxxx] Hey Guys n Gals. Im looking into buying a 73 472 Caddy motor for my Gremlin. It has the t400 tranny. It has low miles and is supposed to run great. Will I be less stoned if I put a wild motor like this in my car? HG P.S. I have pics of a street sleeper if I can send em to someone to post. I cant figure out how to do it. Its a bone stock looking Pacer with a 500ci Caddy in it. Very wild.
