    Howdy and :Welcome: What parts do you need? I used to live in Oak Harbor in 1960 and again in 67-69. Loved that little town, although I'm sure I wouldn't recognize it any more.

    I need a new intake and exhaust manifold. I would also love to find a Grabber Hood.

    - I need a new intake and exhaust manifold.

    - I would also love to find a Grabber Hood.

    - I am not sure what will be needed, but I want to convert the Front Drums To Disk.

    - I suppose I need a shop Manual, I found it online for 21.99, just need to order it.

    -I would eventually like to replace the 2.8 in-ine 6, with the 305

    My wife and I are re-building this 69 1/2 for our two year old Son. He get's it when he Gradguates from Highschool.. haha, untill then the two of us willhave some fun in it, and hopefully do a few car shows and cruises.

    Grabber hoods are hard to come by but I have one that is an 11 out of a 1-10 scale. Send me an email if interested.

    Also have rear spoiler and disc brakes

    Welcome to the board. You'll find what you need through the parts wanted section here.

    A 305 was a GM V8. Maybe you are interested in swapping in a small block Ford, such as a 302. Easy to do and lots of info here for that.

    Good luck with your project.

    you might want to go check out the swap meet in monroe. tomorrows the last day and i'm sure you'll find an intake manifold for it and you'll probably find some other stuff you didnt know you needed :biglaugh:
    if you need a decent trunklid i have one that you can have for free :)

    That would be great, a trunklid.. mine may be salvageable although the hardware is shot. I would love to come to the swap meet, where is it in Monroe, and what are the hours? I think it's an hour drive for me, but the Maverick is down for the week anyway....(broke off a valve cover bolt in the top of the block, seems the bolt is a bit-to Ford tuff for my easy out bit, haha).

    Anyways, I am interested.

    Yes, I am sorry I did mean the 302 I used to have an old Silverado' but have given up on Chevy entirely.

    Right now the Mav has a Straight 6 - 2.8L
