    Just curious what everyone has done to their engine and also what is the biggest block someone has managed to make fit in a Mav?

    I think once the Viper V-10 Mav is finally fired up it should easily take the lead for biggest block. Not sure on raw power though.

    May I refine the question;

    What is the BEST 302 & 351w/c build sheet? No limits

    Best bore, stroke, cam, valves, heads, intake, carb combo to get the most raw power/torque. And how much is it!

    I have one of the 144 I6 engines from the old Falcon in mine, I think that should win this contest easy!
    Not really, but I would like to drive one of those little things just to see how little power it actually has, compared to my giant 200, that is.....

    CommieHook, I had one of those in my falcon. It also had 3 on the tree and the non-synchro first gear. You had to completely stop before you could put it back into first gear. It wasn't the fastest thing in the world but it wasn't too bad either. It was fun to drive.

    Double clutch it Man! Had a 64 Ranchero that had that setup. Mine was a 170, though. Yeah, it was anemic so I can imagine what a 144 was like!
    Oh, back to the thread, Yeah my big 250 is gonna win this contest! :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:
