Re: [BaadAssGremlins] getting crap for swapping to V8

11 in the 1/4 hells bells that's what im talkin about. Devacuuming would that be costly? That big ole vacuum pump that looks like a big ole coffee can has got to go, but the lines from the block (2) where would they go? or do I block them off? I also noticed the cadillac converter is gone. That's what I call it. You make it sound easy, but there is so many lines going to the carb. How she gunna breath?

Something to consider is simply getting rid of all the vacuum lines, desmogging/devacuuming it if you will, I have done it on dozens of my six cylinder cars and what a difference it makes with lots of extra pickup and get go. As for a six, somewhere on here is Ed Fernandez Gremlin with a six which runns 11 second 1/4 miles times, putting away 90% of the V8s it went up against. That is something else to consider. With the sheer numbers of Jeepers out there, there are al sorts of performance parts for the 232, 258 and Mexican 282 six cylinder.

It's the original motor that came with my 76 Gremlin, but the vac lines r a pain.

A AMC 258 V6 has more vac lines than any V8 Mopar engine ive seen. It has a lne from the bottom of the block, a line from the top of the block, three more lines from the carb not including the line from the rotor cap and the fuel line. and if one is off your screwed.
