Cummins AMC Gremlin!
Stumbled across this while trying to research turbo charging a 6cyl Gremlin. Says the owners own Florida torque converter, be nice if we could get the guy on here to give more details. Only change I'd make is the earlier front end.
The Cummins Repower 2.8L Turbo is Right at Home in This 1977 Gremlin

That's how I would describe the vehicles we have on the market today. They all look like spaceships with wheels to me. Plastic spaceships.
