[BaadAssGremlins] Re: 73 Gremlin X Project

["jgray_55" <jgray_55@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree on the 3.50 gears. Great compromise for driving AND weekend 
dragracing. You might consider a Edelbrock Performer RPM AIR-GAP 
intake and Hooker Headers if you want to have some more intense fun. 
along with a in the vicinity of 500 lift hydraulic cam. Actually 
Engle Cams in California will custom grind a AMC cam for no more than 
an off the shelf Comp Cam  will cost you!! Will make it to fit your 
EXACT needs.Just my 2 cents,Joe --- In
