    hey hey

    Yeah im glad to be back on the board. its been way too long. nice to here from you ray! i put the 347 in my 73 4 dr. its a great sleeper. my next project is going to be my 2 door. right now it has a 289 in it. not sure if i want to keep the 289 or put a 351 in there and see if i can fit it. the 289 sounds sweet though and it does ok in the performance area. it might be fun to buil it up. but that is a long ways away for now. just as long as it keeps eating rice i guess!

    Welcome back. Hey if you need any parts A & A just got a 76 Maverick 4 door in December. It has a 200, 3spd, and manual steering. I just pulled the brakes off of it 2 weeks ago. They also got a 72 2dr Comet in. I got a perfect rear bumper off of that.
