 Topic: 360 to 5.7 hemiPosted: Jan/20/2013 at 2:38pm |

What do you think about putting a 5.7 hemi into a 77 gremlin? It bolts right up to the 727 trany, and has enough room to put your finger between the shock towers and the valve covers. just got to move the steering column down three inches on the firewall.The rest is up in the air though. Do we stay with the fuel injection or go carbed? decisions, decisions!?lol. Any suggestions?
two old guys that like fast cars. |

I guess it's better than the typical SBC swap.

Why would you go through all the trouble of installing a modern EFI engine backed by an ancient transmission? If it was a track only car I would understand, but if it's going on the street why not take advantage of an modern OD transmission.
