RE: [gremlintime] 70 AMC V8....again

Bill,
In response to you email. 1) any AMC in any condition is worth what you get 
for it, if the man is offering 400 for a complete Ambassador then grab 
it...those things especially the 2 doors are rare!
2) A Floor shift conversion is easy, just cut your floor hook up the cables 
or linkages and your done! real simple!!
3) I will tell you this much. I have a 77 Hornet which is running a 904 from 
a 73 Javelin so a 4-speed would fit just fine in a Gremlin...Hope this 
helps!!
