: Hey all. Im new to this group and want to say
: hello. I also have a question. Im building a
: pro street Gremlin and Im thinking about
: reinstalling the 232I6 thats in it.
: I have a sbc now, but its driving me nuts
: trying to install it. The car with me will
: weigh around 2,900 lbs and Im wanting to
: build a 200-250 horse engine. It will have
: duals with headers running into 3 inch
: sidepipes. The tranny will be a 2 speed
: powerglide with around a 2800 stahl and line
: locks. Im using an advance adapter to bolt
: it up. The rear is a narrowed 10 bolt with a
: posi and 4.56 rear gears and 18.5 mickey
: thompsons and a 4 link suspension.
: Questions. Do you think this will be a good
: setup? Do you think I would be nuts not to
: drop in the V8? What, based on horses and my
: setup, do you think would be my ETs I could
: pull off? Any help will be greatly
: appreciated. Thanks, PSG

: IMO you will run at the bottom 13s TOPS.250hp
: and 2900lbs and 18" wide tires, THe
: back tires are gonna kill you on rolling
: resistance IMO. IMO your gremlin should be
: around 2700 lbs with a 6 cylinder right?
: 2900 with a v8? There fairly light cars. 300
: hp 6 cylinder at 2700 lbs, then I would
: assume 11.99s for sure.
