Hahahaha. He said it couldn't be done, so I did it. Good answer. Sometimes a guy just has to do stuff like that, doesn't he?
The numbers are closer when it is upgraded to coil overs. I didn't check very close on that version. I guess I was still in 'budget mode' when...
Good info. Thanks a lot. The engine placement shifting for use of a double sump pan clears up the mystery of the ford-in-ford lower arms for me....
I know i'll get more room and better handling with either kit. What i'm looking for are any valid reasons to spend nearly twice as much on the R&C...
Okay. Thanks. The ford-in-ford lower arm doesn't seem like that big of a deal now. Just out of curiosity, did the stock Mustang II even have a...
The link I put in the first note from Full Tilt claims with their ford-in-ford lower arms the steering rack doesn't have to be moved forward,...
I've been considering a mustang II front end in my 69.5 Maverick. Planning on buying the hub to hub version w/ motor mounts from one place or the...
The first Maverick I got 35 years ago had what may be the same problem. The shifter moved but didn't move the arms at the bottom where the...
I read the entire thread on your project last night. Amazing. Quite an eye opener to have an insider view (with lots of very clear pics) of how...
Good job. That looks very nice.
Summit's CFM calculator uses volumetric efficiency of 85% for street engines, 110% for racing engines. For a 302 street engine it calls for 408...
I really enjoyed that. In my impressionable mid/late teens back then. I thought it was just my memories making the hi-boys that high and the...
69.5 Maverick and a 74 Comet V8 donor car 2062
baddad457 I haven't come across a factory power brake set up yet. The space is tight enough that you willingly gave up power brakes? Hmmm, I...
mav1970 I realize that, but in my case, drums are what I have at the moment. If the car becomes road worthy before I have spindles and discs,...
I guess I didn't make that post very clear. What I meant was the style, size, and width of 5 lug wheels would be more varied than compared to 4...
Power front discs are what I'd like to end up with eventually. The five lug drums are more of a way to have the option to put some kind of decent...
I ended up getting the Comet. It has the belly bar, motor mounts, 302/C4, original buckets and floor shifter, original slot wheels, and power...
I'm going to look at a possible donor car for upgrading my 69.5 Maverick to a V8, front discs, etc. The wrecking yard guy can't remember exact...
Hello all. Recently bought a 1970 Maverick. My second one. Still have fond memories of the first one 30+ years ago, so I finally bought another...
