" OK, so it looks like my search for 71-73 Matador Wagon may end with a
" 67 Rebel Station Wagon.  It has a 258/auto but the front floorboards
" are shot due to sitting and water leaking through the vent system.
" Some questions concerning upgrades.  
" 
" 1.  I have a 4.0 with O/D auto from a Comanche.  Rather than modifying
" a 258, I think this would be a simpler effort to having EFI and an O/D
" trans.  So, how would a 4.0 do as far as output goes?  I have an 88
" with a 99 intake and header.  
" 
" []
" 
" I also have a V8 crossmember... could do a 304 or 360.  I have never
" had a full size with 6 cyl, so you're experienced opinion is
" appreciated. 

i had a '67 marlin with 2bbl 232 and auto.  i never felt it was
underpowered and there were few times when i wished for more.  gear it
right and i think the 4.0 would be fine.
