All the usual emissions stuff was there and looked very boring, typical, and factory to me, except for how big then engine was. We were wondering while standing there together and talking what on Earth a small car like this needed such a huge engine for. He had no idea why but said it would leave just about any other car in the dust. It was definitely a Gremlin. We figured AMC could have outsourced the engines, and I thought for years after that perhaps all of them were that way, but I haven't seen very many Gremlins.

AMC made their engines in house never used a Ford motor . If it had a Ford in it someone did a swap
