Re: [gremlintime] rear end question?

["BRIAN DYBA" <DYBAMX@xxxx>]

Parts are available for the Model 20 thanks to the Jeep guys. You can buy
lockers, gears and solid axles,all you have to do is look at a current issue
of any 4wd magazine and you will find lots of vendors for that rear.

The 343 is a good running engine that makes good power but you are limited
in transmission choices unless you buy an adapter to fit a late model
automatic to it or use a manual trans. They have about 10:1 compression in
4bbl form and make 280hp. The 2bbl compression is just a little lower. IIRC

The main drawbacks to using a 343 is the transmission problem stated above
and the lack of the better flowing late model Dog-Leg heads

If the price is right, it would make a good choice for your Gremlin. (Just
ask Bart) (If you are nice maybe he will tell you how he bolted his to a
late model trans without an adapter)

Subject: [gremlintime] rear end question?


Hey guys. I just found out that the Gremlin V8 rear end is a model
#20 and the 4 and 6 bangers are model #15. I have been told that the
#20 came out with 4.10 and other assorted gears as well as a limited
slip. Whats the deal with em? Is this true or not? And can you still
buy posi units and various gears for them? I want to buy one to swap
out my weaker unit, so the width will fit right under my car. Also,
to everyones delight I am going through the ads to try to find me a
pure 100% AMC motor. now that I found some ads and different websites
I seem to be running into a lot for sale. Can anyone tell me what a
343 motor is? What did it comr from? how good is it? Thanks all,
GREMLINMAN
