I have a 78 wagon also, and momentarily thought about building it into a Stocker.

Good luck with it.

I ran a 78/79 Malibu for 14 years before I built the new car. The 800 carb is not legal on the wgaon. I found out the hard way one year at Indy after spending the morning in the barn. I ran the LM1 350 and that engine has seen hard times since I stopped racing it. All the way from 270 to 283 h.p. You might want to consider some of the 305 combinations. The dish piston motor still has not been abused terribly.
