Now to the fun part,, when i first doing a engine swap i want to put some more power into it.. i want a fun car to drive, nothing crazy.. but new pistons, lifters, cam ect..

This will be my first engine build so i guess forums and youtube will be my best friends this winter...

A old Pic of the wagon:

That car is a BEAUTY!

Wow that body style looks nice in that color,
I always liked the 71-73 (?) Matadors,
and that one is a fine example. Smile

Good luck with the build!

Very nice!

Those wheels should really compliment the rest of it.

Black wheels go perfectly with the body color, and the little polished centers will balance out with the bright trim of the car.

Nice choice.

Great project! Agreed...your wheel choice will look fantastic on the car!

Is there enough room for 10” wheels...or will you have to modify?
