first you'll need a V8 crossmember from any 72-76 Gremlin,70-77 Hornet,78-79 
Concord and 79 Spirit,and i'm not sure about the bellhousings being different 
from that of a V8 or 6,chucnk the wimpy AMC model 15 rear you have for a 
Ford 9 inch,AMC Model 20 or a Mopar 8'3/4 the 68-70 Javelin and AMX rears 
will fit your gremlin perfectly,you may wanna change from a fuel tank to a 
fuel cell because the V8 gas lines are on the opposite side of the 6 banger 
Grems.if you have front disks your A Ok but if you have drums swap em out to 
disks with any Grem,Hornet,Concord and Spirit xept the 4 banger ones.a mild 
360 with your 3 speed should get you haulin buut we can expect a typical 
turbo gum flappin from brien so be forwarned.
