Actually I've owned other AMCs over the years. That Gremlin was my first car. Also had a 74 Hornet station wagon with a 304 and an 82 Spirit with a 258 straight six and 5-speed. They were all dogs. Now a Gremlin with a LS engine will be cool as hell.
I had a 66 GTO with a L72 427 big block chevy before I bought a new 2000 Corvette Hardtop. Ran good. REALLY good. my Corvette STOCK will run CIRCLES around that GTO. My first comment after driving the Vette was "It pulls just like a big block." Saw this in a Hot Rod a month or two ago:
They rear wheel dynoed a 70 LS6 Chevelle and L72 69 Camaro. LS6 was factory rated at 450hp and the L72 at 425hp. AT THE REAR WHEELS both cars pulled about 280hp.
Having owned several classic muscle cars over the years, I can testify that the modern LS engines are far superior. I have a 73 Corvette with a 383 small block chevy. Nice car. Sounds GREAT and runs ok for what it is... but I am pulling that engine for a LS1 with 4L60E out of a Y2K Camaro. I used to love that old school stuff but the modern LS engine is a hot-rodders gift from heaven.

only if it's a 2nd gen, pref. a cassini or barcelona coupe. that would be bitchin'.
you really can't go wrong though... those things are completely beastly - it would take a real man to swap an LS into one and actually drive it around. please get a pic with your best 70s attire and **** stache whence you've finished.

I can't even imagine. My father has an 100% original 1973 Grabber Maverick, and you should HEAR the stuff that comes out of his mouth regarding some of my cars. He is one of those true "Ford Blue" for life kinda guys. He HATES the stuff I mess with.... my Mustang kills him a little inside I think even talking about it.
As for the AMC! Do it!.....don't want RUN, to get it finished.

Yea it's a 74 Oleg Cassini I actually have two red and white. As for the harness thought about just buying an already modified harness and put it in the car. The car will be orange with black top with 245/45-18 black rims interior is black Oleg Cassini dash. Leaving all the emblems off the car that away very few people will know what it is.
