Nice AMC! Can I assume handling is no concern? 392s are very heavy engines.

Ambitious project! Roadkill put a gen 2 in a gremlin so anything is possible. A gen 3 would right at home and stay under the hood. Props to you for undertaking it.

Me,stick a built 401 in it and hurt some feelings. Maybe a couple of 304 fender badges.
 
Cool little car, that 392 is going to be a tight fit. I put this one together a fews years ago with a built 304 to run in the desert. We called it the Murder Hornet.

FYI- an Explorer 8.8 rearend with disc brakes is the perfect width and you can fnd them with 4.10's and a limited slip.

i want to do a stright axle, like roadkill gremlin, could not pass up the hornet. it kinda goes with my super bee lol. pretty much the same nose on it. thanks for 8.8 rear info thata guna help. tearing down the hemi i like to go with a 671 blower, more wow than power
 
ben working last couple of days, not much dun. monday im off maybe take the hemi to the shop an drop it off. also my plastic shed came in last nite, gota put it togeather move some stuff then bring the hornet home to start working on it. god i hope i live long enough for all of this lmao!
 
need some in put.for the hemi, the shop guy will probley sell me all bells an wistles for it. im thinking 6-71 blower. now, its for the wow factor not horse power, figure the hemi is around 325 hp plus 100 for blower. that all im needing. so piston type any other info would be great
