'64' Dodge Dart. Then a Ford love wagon [van] with 3 on the tree.
 
Had a 72 dodge van with a 360 in it.
Thermoquad,direct connection cam,hooker headers 3.5” pipes to old school turbo mufflers.
Manual steering manual brakes no AC.
Three on the tree you could hear it idling a hundred yards away.
Wife used to love driving that thing.
Had a '69 Ford E-100 van. Blueprinted the engine, converted the transmission to four on the tree, with a separate reverse lever on the floor. Low end torque cam, 2 barrel carb, changed the rear end ratio and added larger tires. 27 mpg going up hill with medium load, at 42 mph.
So much torque, that twice I spun the clutch while the clutch was fully engage, just by adding more throttle. Ran better uphill than on the flats. Did one trip to Alaska, plus 6 to Baha Mexico.
