Not yet, but by April or May i will be there. I can hardly wait, this car has been 5 years in the works. 598 cubes of ALL FORD.
Exactly! I've got four cars I'll be parting out soon. Three of them (71 Grabbers, yellow, red, purple) were flooded during Hurrican e Katrina. Prior to that I was putting the yellow and red ones in shows. The third is a yellow Stallion but too much rust for me to consider building. Sometimes ya just gotta let them go! Anybody wanna buy a Stallion cheap before I start??? Runs...$700.
That is one heck of a sharp looking car. Too bad about the other one. We can't always win the fight against rust.
thats my 65 galaxie. it runs 10.90s. it weighs 4000 pounds with me in it.what do you think your mav will run? that car looks great. how about some more info on the 598.
The 598 is a crate engine i bought from Keith Craft in Arkansas. Usually he builds them with 15:1 compression but i asked him for 10:1 so i could drive the car on the street. Ford 4-bolt block, Scat crank, Lunati rods, JE pistons, .770 lift comp roller, C-460 heads with 2.45 intake/1.88 exhaust valves, 1250 dominator carb. The motor came with a dyno sheet that says peak HP is 935 @ 6,500rpm and 815ft/lbs @ 5,500. If those numbers are even close the Maverick should run very low 9's easily. We will see soon!
yes ,a friend of mine and i built the car and ran on pinks in 2006 he owned and raced it at the time. i bought it a year later.
Wow your Mav looks top notch and gorgeous!!!!I never really liked tubbed Mavericks but yours sits perfect.Nice car 2 thumbs up from me!
