Lot of respect for Glidden as driver and mechanic. A true legend. I enjoyed watching him race and his rivalry with 'the professor'.
Congrats Hotrock, having a picture of your car in a book is quite the accomplishment. One thing I always felt there wasn't enough of with...

Meangreen71 submitted a new car to the Garage : Mercury Comet 302 1 of 1,978 Comets with 302/C4 built in '77, per Marti report. Built date:...
Yep, one of the traits I like about 71-73 Mustangs....engine bay room!
Maybe one day they'll make an adapter to bolt a 10-speed behind Windsors. Good luck with build, and kudos for keeping it Ford-powered!
Jaybee, the 400 is actually in my '72 Mach 1. Both my Maverick and Comet have modded 302s

Thanks guys, it was a time consuming job, but worthwhile :thumbs2:

Thanks for adding; I enjoyed reading the articles!
Finished building a 302 for our Maverick. The block was stamped 1968 but had C9TE heads. I've always liked the idea of tapping into factory heads...
72RunRun, are you able to filter the air to the carb with that induction system?
Would have liked a sequel, where they throw a 4V carb and intake, headers, shift kit, gear swap and tires (on a small budget) to watch it knock...
I have: 2 Mavericks (both 1974) 1 Comet (1977) *All factory V8 cars NEW TOTAL - 2255
Looks good, I have a similar one on our Maverick project car [ATTACH]
I like to think of the 400 as a tall deck, stroker Cleveland. 4" stroke and 4" bore. Definitely produces grunt! These engines were overlooked for...
[ATTACH] I have a Ford 400 engine in my Mach 1....with a few tweaks (750 carb, aluminum intake, roller rockers, performance cam, headers,...
Body looks straight and I like torq thrust wheels; we went with the grey centers on our '74 Maverick build. My Comet is a '77; with the small...
Nice improvements! Any updates?
