    Hey guys! I recently bought a 74 Maverick coupe, just a rolling shell. I'm going to swap a 351W with a C4 tranny. Anyone know or anyone selling the correct motor and trans mounts? Please and thanks

    regular V8 (302) Maverick frame stands and rubber mounts will work just fine.
    And welcome to the madness

    Welcome to the site from northeast Ohio!!!! :tiphat:

    As Mavman72 writes, V8 pieces will work with the 351W. You are aware the 351W is a tighter fit than a 302 based engine and requires special headers, 351W pulley brackets and a correct flex plate?

    Welcome from British Columbia, Canada. There is an ongoing issue of stroking a 302 vs installing a 351. Type in 351W swap in the search section of get lots of info on the pros and cons. :yup:

    Welcome. Good luck with the install. The shock tower notching is not bad at all. I have a set of V8 frame stands since they will not work with my FE that I would donate to your cause they are yours for postage. Send a note if your interested.
