No fancy valve covers, either. A slighly battered set of those stamped aluminum valve covers, Direct Connection tach drive distributor, and a Nash 5-speed. Make the Hemi a pump gas 572 with a fairly aggressive hydraulic roller.

I would, however, love to upgrade from a 3-speed manual to a 4- or 5-speed. It'll run 80 all say long as it is. The perfect drive train for it would be the 3.6, 8-speed automatic from my '18 Charger, or maybe a 4.0 out of a Cherokee.

I like the way you think. Not everything needs a Hemi or 1000HP.. VERY cool wagon! John The dream is dead, long live the dream.......😥
