Got the wagon's rear installed and the brakes bled. Double checked everything and took her for a ride. Huge improvement! A lot quicker off the line and shifts great (goes into overdrive @ 40 mph if light on the gas pedal). Happy I did this. I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that the car feels pretty fast, regardless of it's engine size. Just 2 more things to do (install my roller rockers/pushrods and bump the timing up to 10*) and the car will be DONE, at least for the next year or so.
