its a fully restored gremlin, this guy at work owns it and i know my LG4 is slow but i'm hopin it can at least beat the Gremlin, the gremlin has a straight six in it. All i have modded on my car is flowmaster exhaust. Please tell me i could beat this hoop-dee. Thanks guys

 

Tell us what it runs in the quarter and what yours runs... Then ill tell you, as far as we know the "Hoopdee" may have NAWS or something.

 

Well its a completely stock, 256 inline six, i have seen the engine and i've seen the inside of car no NOS. My car is in good condition never took it to the track yet, but everyone knows how slow the LG4 is all i have is flowmaster exhaust, i recently gave my car a tune up also. Thanks for your help

 

I hate to be **** but it was a 4.2, 258. Same as my old 84 Cherokee Chief.

 

So do you think i can take the gremlin???

 

The Gremlin is pretty underpowered(110-hp from the 258 I-6) and also 'quite plump' for a smaller car. If you don't have anything serious wrong with your LG4, it's bye-bye Gremlin.

 

Well after checkin under the hood, i noticed everything doesn't seem to be stock, he claims to be hangin with new trans ams, which i think BS, i see no nitrous, Supercharger, or Turbocharger, if anything this guy put heads and headers on it, plus carb and intake, thats the most he could've done...i'm guessing all those would still put him under the 180 hp i have right?

 

I use to own 304 Gremlin, but that is another animal; especially when you install 4 bbl, cam and headers.

You should beat the 6 banger without any difficulty. They were really doggy back then. Does he have an automatic or the 3 speed standard? No Gremlin came with a 4 speed.

 

My brother and I put a Clifford header, an Offenhauser dual-port intake, and a Holley 390 4-barrel on a Jeep CJ-5 with that same motor in it once... surprised the hell out of a bunch of people, I can tell you that much....

I think this guy is all bs, he gets weirdo everytime i talk to him his gremlin is a 3 speed, he came in today saying how he hung with an early 90s corvette, we should race tomorrow or the day after that, i'll keep you guys updated on what happens, thanks for your help!

 

if he has fortified the engine with some clifford performance parts,the car might be faster then it looks,but i think you'll still be able to take him.
