thanks for the info Dave.
Anyone out there still make fiberglass bumpers for the early style Maverick bumpers?
I have about 6 or 7 sets in storage. My ol' man passed earlier this month and left me with a whole lot of classic ford parts (hardcore packrat). 2...
Speed is just a question of money, how fast can you afford to go? My 77 Mav ran a respectable 11:44 @ 133 at Gainesville, and I know it...
on a slightly different matter, who has repro (rear lower) quarter buckets? my 70's are completely swiss cheese. I bought them a long time ago...
Thanks for the info guys. I thought there was a conversion from one to the other, but JCW has what I want at a price thats fair. -Mike
Anyone have a resource for the Mustang to Maverick rear leafsprings? got to replace the ones in mine, they're shot.
I did a search on here and found an old post from someone who modded an early mustang tank to fit. can't remember exactly who did it though. I am...
My Cougar was an unmistakable 9" rear. the best way to tell is the need to use a wrench on the bottom 2 nuts for the 3rd member. On the 8", they...
OK, C-6 was available in late '70, and you could order a Mustang in 1970 just about any way you wanted it (they had major issues with sales). So...
65-70 had 52" housings. 71-3 had 54" housings. My dad has a '70 with a factory 52" housing (factory 302/c-6 car). I know the c-6 is a wierd combo,...
early 'Stangs had 52" housings too. If I recall correctly, the 71-3 'Stangs with a 351C had 9" also. I cut down a 9 for my Mav out of an old stub...
I think my old man has some pics from that time. Don had a 4dr Mav and a Pinto I believe. I'll ask him about the pics he has from that race. He...
As far as destressing/deburring, that is good with any motor/block. I've done it to every race engine I've ever assembled. Including installing...
Well, I guess you haven't been reading the threads so far. The whole discussion came about via the Mex block 302.
Then, by all means, explain the "late cast" 5.0 blocks that split from the mains to the top of the cam journals under heavy, hard use (N-A,...
I've heard the same thing more than a few times myself. Although, it is rumored that they used the same or similar mixture of Iron/Nickel/Tin that...
Look for a 302 out of a 75 or so Granada. They used Mexican castings and are far stronger than your standard 302. The heads of FoMoCo made the...
try this page. it has some info for you http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=36646
I used a manual setup on both my Mav's with great success. You don't need power brakes to stop. I don't really like them on an older car anyway...
