Your weight factor is 12.23 so it's a natural I car and you can run H I or J, the NHRA rated HP is 292 for the four barrel. Other than the very small AFB and lack of V to P clearance it's a pretty good package and the wagon has a 116 wheelbase where as the non wagon is 119.

It's an uphill battle but don't forget about the expensive aftermarket aluminum heads rated at 285 hp.

Mark, has that one got the horizontal pushbutton shifter on the left? If so you will love those buttons. Fingers curled under the buttons shift with the thumb push down lightly and squeeze the trigger that last 1/8th inch. Just remember though if you go with a reverse manual valve body 2nd gear freewheels...get good brakes on the car!
Do not be a victim of the death spiral of a transmission you cannot use to actually downshift in a car that is also very heavy and has inertia. And get a double master cylinder in it no matter what. Cool car though...you'll love it!
