Hey OK Guys, will be on the lookout for Bart. Thanks for the heads-up. I didn't think there would be so many SBC powered Gremlins out there, but it is a natural switch. In 73 I was reading in some rod magazine (wish I could remember the name) about how to do the switch. Shortly after reading this article, my clutch went out while autocrossing, so I convinced the wife it was time for a V8. As it turned out, she did more street racing with it than I did. She's resisting the swap, but I think my son is going to talk her into it. Looking forward to interacting here if possible. GaryB 73 Gremlin in Ca.
