Re: [gremlintime] engine and tranny swap

[ecurbpope@xxxx]

Just juming on the engine swap band wagon.

I have a 199 CID in my "70". I like it because it's unique but fuel pumps 
are a problem and they only spit out 128 HP. If I recall the 258 is 
somewhere around 160 horse.I considered a V-8 swap but have also considered 
just "upping " to a 258. How available are 258's and can the "three on the 
tree" tranny bolt up without modifications? What about the rear end? What is 
thew average cost of the V-* swap out? 

Thanks for all the info.
