I'm far from an expert on Ford, but I think you could get the same 360 horse 429 engine that was standard on the Cobra Mustang. I think the Cobra Jet engine was rated at 370 hp, but in any case ... this is a hot rod show and the cars that the auto companies should have built ... turn up here! :-) There are a lot of Torino wagons configured like this running around ... just like the Pontiac GTO wagons which were never built in the factory..
Ours were pretty mundane too with the exception of looking like a rolling radio station. Dad was a HAM operator back then. There were a few of them at the drag strip though. Nothing like seeing a station wagon pulling its front wheels off the ground!
That's one fine Ford station wagon! I miss those days of the wheelstands. My station wagon could never do that because it's front wheel drive! I wish it could be converted to rear wheel drive, but it's a unibody and that sucks.
