While I there would be nothing wrong with dropping an AMC V8 in a Gremlin, what I personally would do (and plan to do, in the long run) is build a fuel injected stroker I-6. There is a groups called strokers, on egroups, devoted to this topic. In a nutshell, you use a 4.0 litre block with pistons from a 258 and end up with a displacement of around 4.6 litres. You can get up to about 275 HP this way, depending on how you go about it. -- Daniel Modlin mailto:dmodlin@xxxx http://home.earthlink.net/~dmodlin Burbank, CA ICQ #4076445 (insert amusing line here)
