How about a Ford Fairmont 2 door with a straight six.  All the Mustang 
suspension parts fit. 15 inch Mustang alloys would bolt on as well.  
Clifford makes a header for that engine I think. The only drawback is the 
intake cast into head. However, I remember a Hot Rod article where they put 
four Honda motorcycle carbs on that engine and it screamed.  Is that twisted 
enough?
