Gina has the fastest Gremlin, it runs 11.6.

Both here and mine has a 360.

My best is 12.4, but now I have another motor, and it runs 12.6 / 101.

The Pacer has GM engine... (454) but they are collecting parts for a 401.

And a nice gremlin you have!!

What type of engine and trans??

That is a good combination!

I will have a 401 some time, but they are wery expensive here in norway.

My 360 is not as stong as the one I had, and I am not sure about the cam I have.

That`s because I dropped a valve in my good old engine so I got my sisters engine now.

But my drivetrain is wery strong now. Before I had the original 998 and a 1000+ converter, but it was a lot of problems whith the 998. Think the car is to heavy, and the track too good. Burned clutshes all the time. Had a manual shift kit and HD clutshes, but still lots of problems.

So I changed to a TH-400 from a Jeep, and 4000 stall. Lowered the 60 ft from 1.9 to 1.70 , but lost 6 miles in top speed.

Olso got a Commanche rear axle that have one- piece axles and installed a LockRight locker.

Maby next year I will change to a mecanical cam, but need roller rockers and grind the valveguides to get the clearence. But still can`t go faster than 12.0. if I want to do that I need a roll-bar, SFI-dampner, 4 pt seat belt etc. Do not want to modify that Gremlin to mutch, it`s a 76 V8 Gremlin, only made 826 of them I think.

But now the car is garaged, 5 months to the next race...
