I just scored a big hit.  I found an abandoned early 70's squire wagon and stopped to ask about it.  The property owner said that it had been abandoned and I could have it for the taking.  I looked in the windows and saw that the seats were better than mine and it had a day/night mirror. so I said OK.  I could not open the hood as it had been damaged while parked by a snowplow one winter. 
I went back to tow it and forced the hood and found a rough looking engine with a very nice looking header.  The previous owner had just tied the header into the stock exhaust which seems like a waste of good air flow.  It will be corrected when swapped into my Pinto.  It also has a very nice-anti sway bar for the front of my runabout. 
I think that it is amazing what you can find when you keep your eyes open and have a little patience.  I really have enjoyed driving my '72 and the extra goodies will be a big boost.
