Lot of work for what?  heavier, slower version of the SHO?

I guess if you just have to have a wagon, and it has to be 
SHO powered, you could maybe justify it.

I would rather build a SHO powered lighter more fun 
car...like a Focus with RWD, kind of a modern day SHOgun? 
The Focus wagon has it's own kind of beauty, and they handle 
pretty good when you get decent tires on them.

They will soon have a kit to put a Cobra motor in the Focus, 
RWD and all.

Or start with a RWD car like a miata and put in the SHO 
instead of the 5.0L in the Monster Miata conversions.  What 
other lightweight wagon bodies are there?  How about a late 
60's/early 70's Opel from Germany?  I had one of those 
wagons and it was fun in a wierd sort of way.  Very light. RWD.


But hey, whatever trips your trigger!  :)  Just give me a 
ride in it when you are done!
