Re: [gremlintime] 360 in a 232 76 gremlin

Brian,
To put a 360 from a Wagoneer in your Gremlin you will need the small
engine mounts and a 360 flywheel to match your 904/998/999 trans (whichever
one it is they are all 904s to me) The flywheels are sold by APP in Florida
and the engine brackets have been reproduced and are sold by several
vendors. if your Wagoneer engine has all the accessories on it then that
should be all you need. The trans in your car will bolt up and should hold
the power of a mild 360 and can be built much stronger. I don't know about
the radiator but if you have problems with overheating I am pretty sure that
a radiator from a larger AMC with a V8 will fit (not that they are easy to
find), the Wagoneer rad. will not work.

Hey guys, this is my first post on this mailing list, but I've been
receiving
it for about a month or so. I just picked up a 76 232-auto gremlin. The car
is really solid, and we just redid the whole braking system... Now, I'm
looking to put a 360 motor from a Wagoneer into the Gremlin. Very
specifically, what parts will I need to do the conversion? Obviously, I need
the motor... Also I want an auto trans for consistent drag times. I know I
need a V8 Crossmember, but how about motor mounts, radiator, etc... Finally,
is there anyone who has some of these parts from a previous project that
might be interested in selling them. Thanks a lot for your advice guys. This
is my first AMC, and my first car in general. I don't want to waste my time
with crappy/backwoods installations and parts. I need stuff that's gonna
last.

Brian
