    Like I said...
    1100 cube V8
    Aluminum engine
    DOHC
    Forged pistons
    Billet steel rotating mass
    All straight from Ford!

    Think this will fit with an MII suspension?
    Take a listen to it before mods:

    hmm.. what kind of power does it make?

    im sure that it can fit in the maverick... just need to get one, cut the front off.. weld something up, and then skin it again..

    we could put it in my car, if you buy it.. im all for it

    Missing my old '70 Maverick
    I saw a thread on that motor earlier today but the link is down.

    Yes, the guy has the engine dropped in an older Mustang with a moded MII suspension.

    Actually, a guy put one in a T-bucket (I believe it was) years ago. There's a picture in that thread if the link ever comes back up.

    Awesome.
