I have contacted Competition Engineering about subframe connectors for the wagon and also sent them a frame chart. I'm hoping with enough interest from all wagon owners we can get them to manufacture the subframe connectors. They make them form the sedan already so they're half way there. If your interested in a set please contact them and request they move forward with production. Thanks for your help ;D

Why would the sedan connectors not fin on the wagon?
It has the same wheelbase.
From Pintony
I tried a set designed for the sedan, the rear mount isn't even close. The frame chart I have does show different dimensions.
The CE connectors are designed for RACE cars.
Where everything is fabed.
If you want to connect the subframes just make your own.
Do not mess with store bought generic connectors.
Is your Pinto twisting?
Just use some 2"X3" square .120 wall tube.
I spoke with John @ S&W race cars, he said the best thing to do is fab a cross member at the front of the leaf springs then bring a connector straight back from the front subframe, Either way it's gonna be a pain in the a** and take the cash reserve from my AOD swap.
I am getting some body twist, which concerns me due to wanting to pull a trailor.
