Brien don't write checks your ASS can't cash!!!tho my Grem is under 
construction i make Chicken Soup outta Chicken S#it whereas you have done 
things the total opposite!! if you'll reread what i posted on here to the guy 
looking for"SIMPLE"mods for his 72 304 Grem X i NEVER told him to yank the 
engine for higher comp forged pistons and the fule cell mod i suggested to 
the kid who wanted to swap his 6 for a V8 was stated as a OPTION he could go 
with!!you can still use your existing gas tank if you wanted to,but my 
Gremlin is a Street/Strip car so factory items sush as a factory gas tank 
aren't in my ride.and for your info the tri five Chevies were called 
shoebox's and Bob Falfa aka"Harrison Fords"charactor drove a 55 Chevy in 
the movie American graffiti so you call your pieced together abomination on 
wheels "Milners coupe"i call my Bad Ass Gremlin"Falfas shoebox"Nuff said
