Here's a shot of the motor in the wagon-

.030 400, 8.75:1 eutectic pistons
Stock bottom with ARP bolts
Rebuilt factory 400 heads
XE268 cam, roller tip rockers
Dual plane air gap
Modified Q-jet
Headers, 3" single exh. w/40 series Flowmaster
Stock TH350, Stock 7.5" rear

I raced a ricer on the freeway late at night once, got up to about 125 and I got a bit nervous so I bailed. I think as it is the car's got 135-140 potential but it's pretty slow off the line. Blistering 2.45 60' and 15.70's at 4500ft. Lol! I shift into second gear just before the 1/8 mile and it goes through the traps at 4200 in 2nd gear! 3.73's and a 700R4 would help a bit. Prolly some better heads too.

Sorry to steal the thread a bit...
