According to
Gutenberg's licence you may strip all of Gutenberg's stuff out of the book. You probably should remove all of it, and put your own credits in thanking Project Gutenberg and naming them the source. Why should you remove all of it? Because this way you end up with a public domain book. But careful, you need to make sure that you do not violate copyright laws by downloading or modifying or redistributing Gutenberg's files if you live outside the U.S.

A Project Gutenberg ebook is made out of two parts: the public domain book and the non public domain Project Gutenberg trademark and license. If you strip the Project Gutenberg license and all references to Project Gutenberg from the ebook, you are left with a public domain ebook. You can do anything you want with that.

Edit: Ohh oops, I do hope that legally you can thank Project Gutenberg and name them as the source. Unfortunately not without jumping through hoops, see post #15. Thanks Harry.
