What V8 you would put in your Gremlin is totally up to you.
Most on here will
agree that they would stick with an AMC. Gremlins came
with 304 V8 but the 360
and the 401 is basically the same block so it
shouldn't be any difference in
putting the engine in the car. Just my 2
cents worth in reality I think the
304 is all you really need for the
Gremlin. You will be able to burn rubber,
out run 90% of the cars on the
road, it will sound good and look good when you
pop the hood. It would
also keep it a little more original. If I was going for
a daily driver
that is the way I would go. I can also see where since it
wouldn't be any
more work why not drop a 360 or a 401 in it. While I think in
reality a
304 is all you need I can see where a built 401 would be one hell of
a
ride. I think the 401 is a bit of overkill for something you going to drive
back and forth to work but a weekend cruiser, something to drive to car
shows,
the strip it might be the way to go. I think you are going to have
decide what
you are going to do with the car and how much you want to
spend. No wrong or
right answer here.
