73 Gremlin lsX coming soon.... Hey guys,
Justin from PA,
Just pulled out my 360 from my gremlin and decided I wanted more power and some boost. I've decided to go with a boosted 4.8 swap in my AMC. There isn't much in the way of parts to adapt this combo so I'm sure some of it will have to be custom, but I'm looking for as much advise as possible. I think my first hurdle will be that the AMC v8's are rear sump design. I believe the ls's are front sump.
It seems like there are a few people who have done this swap in small bodied AMC's but they are impossible to get in touch with. If you guys know of anyone who has done the physical swap and can get me in contact with them, that would be awesome.
Thanks again, and ill keep everyone updated on the progression. The car weighs 2600 pounds, it should be a fun car after the swap!
