Any of the later model V8-powered AMXs (77 Hornet AMX, 78 Concord AMX, 79 Spirit AMX) would be out because they were all 304/2 BBL cars. The 80 Spirit AMX is totally out as it only came in a 6 cyl (258) version. I wish they had put a 360/4 BBL in a gremlin. The closest is the 304/2 BBL early Gremlins. Any way you could make a "concept class" where cars are built the way the factory SHOULD have built them? you could get a Hornet with a 360/4 BBL in 71 (AKA- the Hornet SC360). I'd love to build the equal to it in a Gremlin. By the way, you could also get a Pacer with a 304/2 BBL in the later years. Good thing you have the 4 BBL rule. Otherwise, you could build a killer Pacer sleeper with a 401! |

Maybe I should have said sounds good to me. TNT Tom do you have a Magnum GT? |

..and I recently sold a nice stock 1979 Trans Am. Amazing what a 2200 stall,an aggressive advance curve and having full throttle can do for the old "smoggers" Would have been a fun car to run. |

Ralph, No Magnum GT but the 400's were available in both GTs and XEs for 1978. I can put a 400 stroker 75 Cordoba on the track without too much trouble. TNT |
