    The wagon definitely is :)

    Hopefully the Torino will be. It was kind of lame to drive before, although KYBs, shelby control arm drop, and the tires and wheels helped it greatly for fun to drive factor from when I bought it. I knew a girl with a 67 Fairlane that had a 289 and a C4 and that was like a 17 second car. The Torino was probably in that ball park before too, got about the same fuel mileage as the Lightning I had, and was broke a lot. Previous owner did a lot of sub par work that gave me lots of head aches. When the trans pump seal went out I decided if the C4 came out it wasn't going back in. Things kind of snow balled big time from there. I was honestly only looking for a T-5 to put behind the 289 when I ran across a good deal on a T-56 out of an 03 Cobra. Now I just needed a bellhousing for a SBF...and a Mark VIII shows up in my driveway...

    Educated guesses say that when it is done it should run mid 13's, get 24 MPG, and hopefully handle pretty well.
