Well, it has been forever since I posted an update. I bought the wagon last Fall in a disassembled state. Since then, I have repaired a few rust spots and am in the middle of mocking up the motor mounts and trans crossmember so I can weld the new floor pans in. Next up is a quick mini-tub, then patch the 1/4s around the wheel openings (I bought some 4-door 1/4s for patchwork). Then its paint time - Nantucket Blue.
It has a CR front clip, CR 4-bar rear (although a rebuilt 10bolt with all new suspension is in it now), 4.30 geared narrowed 9" rear, T56, and custom long tube headers. I have 315-35-17 DRs for the back and have yet to pick the wheels. I have 2 LSx motors: an iron 6.0 block and an aluminum LS2 block. I will be using the iron one first with a stock bottom end and L92s while I build the 11:1 402 stroker with the LS2 block. Then I will pull the iron motor and put the 402 in the wagon so I can tear down the LQ9 and build it as a 408 low compression :evilgrin: turbo motor for the 66 Sedan. It will be backed with either a T56 or a 4L80.
