Two weekends, a hooker headers conversion kit, chevy 327 V8 and a turbo 400 automatic transmission made that Vega shine! Unbelievable change of character! The only problem was finding replacement spider gears for the stock rear axle...
V8 Vegas still have a cult following of sorts.
there is one parked not too far from my house..
looks tubbed, with slicks and a cage.

Me: Er...It was made by Fords SPECIAL Vehicle Team?
