I've got an Australia ford falcon (similar to your taurus) that keeps begging me to do something like this to it when I finish my current project.

DO IT!! Wagons kick ass, and I love seeing other build ups of them. Let us know what you end up doing. It would be one to watch. Good luck.

well it will be a while but it will happen and does anyone see any reason why i wouldnt be able to run nitrous on this motor with the supercharger aslong as i have meth/h2o injection?

go for it!!

I had an 89 sable wagon I wanted to slip an Olds Toronado drivetrain in the rear. I was going to tint out the rear windows and point the exhaust right at the rear side windows. I was going to keep the stock worn out V6 up front and go hunting for Hondas. I was even going to put some yellow plug wires and a Cold air intake on the V6 Just to add to the "hype". Then when it came down to it I would roll down the rear side windows and fire up the "real" engine and lay down a whoopin. :attn:
