66 Fairlane Wagon Combination Suggestions

I seem to remember a Fairlane wagon back in the 60s or early 70s that was killer fast.The guys name was Richard Charnabou. Don't quote on the spelling of the last name. If I recall correctly it was a stick 427. Maybe someone remembers the car.

Not the 315hp, use the 320hp version. It is bogus in a wagon since it was only used on Fairlane GT and GTA hardtops and convertibles but is allowed so take advantage of that.
All other models has the 315hp "TBird" motor as top option. I used to have a Z code 390, 4 speed Ranchero but it was not listed in the NHRA guide.

The 315hp doesn't get to use things like the PI aluminum intake which makes a huge difference on the 320hp engine.
