After reading through some of the threads on here,
I propose to the CEO/COO/admins/mods/janitor that we should have "biggest waste of bandwidth for the month" award.

My first nominee would be "Stupid Bread".
And just to show I am not immune from wasting bandwidth, the first runner up would be the "Do you believe in Bigfoot?" poll.

(Following closely behind those will probably be this thread )

You missed the "I want to install a CDT in an American Motors Gremlin" thread.



No one better nominate Hoss and his concrete bedliner idea. I still say we could make that work!

 

Running at the top of my list:
$0 Fuel Prices! No Kidding! Free!!

I nominate THIS one.

 

What do you mean we COULD make it work?? It DOES work!!!

 

Umm, can someone post some pics of the fuel?

You're just jealous because you're not famous for anything stupid yet.

Heck, that was the first thing I ever posted. Ahh, memories.... Let's revisit that one.

https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...threadid=30577

My first words ever typed on this site were "I'm a stupid idiot." (I wasn't planning on sticking around...)

From there on I asked what the dimensions of a Cummins 6BTA were, and I don't remember if that one was ever answered...

The first reply to my query asked whether or not I are goats; I still have absolutely no clue what Wannadiesel meant by that...

I do remember figuring out that with a body lift the engine could fit... The Cummins is actually a really compact engine except for the height of the thing- the engine is less wide and only a few inches longer than the 304 V-8 that Gremlins had in them stock. With a dry-sump system of some kind the I-6 could fit no problem, but I don't know if anybody's ever done that before.

The easy way to do it would be to use a Jeep frame and a Gremlin body (people've put the 6BTA in Jeeps before, and sticking a Gremlin body on top would be no problem), but that would kind of detract from the entire "good handling" idea that I was going for. Does anybody know of a solid-framed compact car with a good sized engine comparment? Or of a way to modify a Jeep suspension into something more rally-able? Hmm, maybe an AMC Eagle if I wanted all wheel drive...

It's doable, but the fact that Gremlins are unibodies makes them less than desirable for such a massive engine. But I'm an AMC fan, so that's the first thing I naturally thought of.

 

Begle1! I was doing you a favor by NOT mentioning your name or putting you with "Gremlingate", but you stepped right into it! AGAIN!

This is like shooting fish in a barrel! (Geico has to take a potty break from laughing so hard!)

I did all the stupid stuff I'm gonna do (I think) and you'll never know about it!

 

HEY, MY THREAD ISNT A WASTE OF BANDWIDTH!!! I WAS WORRIED FOR MY LIFE!

 

I did see "Janitor" under someones name... how did he manage that one?!

 

two votes for this one......

 

Hey, thats pretty fun..... Hey wait just a minute

Lol- I may have poor taste but that would rock man!
Sounds like a lot of work and a royal pain in the ****, but it might be fun.
Maybe one of those old jeep pickups with the flared fenders
