Well i just brought a 460 and i am going to install it in my 70 maverick ,but some of the people on here i know have already done this and i have been reading the posts but i can not seam to be able to email these people so i am going this route any pics and info/advise would help greatly..Thank you all in advance i am now joing the big leagues...Barry PS..... i am and can do all the work myself.I will update the forum with pics as i go along i will also be selling off my unused engine the one in the car now comes complete from 750 holley to hedders and pan and a c4 and stock convertor, my disc brake set up and stock drum brake set up,90/10 drag shocksand a 5 gallon fuel cell ........my contact number is 631 207-9100
my neighbor down the streets got one MII front end thats about all i can tell you.... i'd have to ask him for more info... but as you can see it can be done... i might ad this all fits under the stock hood too!
MII front end, of swap a front subframe from a 70 Mustang, and then hang Maverick sheetmetal... Not even sure if the coilover kits will allow it.
Best of luck. Are you using tube frame, aftermarket MII or stock MII? I fired my 429 last Friday and ran it for a while. Have one more brake line to make up and a couple of odds and ends and I should be ready to cruise the neighborhood this weekend.I can't get mine under the stock hood (edelbrock RPM with a 1" spacer) but it isn't too far out of the hood. It would be real close without the spacer. A stock 4 barrel or performer without a spacer would easily fit. Possibly a flat single plane too (like a port-o-sonic or torker). Cleaver
This thread kinda looks like one that was moved/deleted. Wonder how long this one will stick around before it's axed?
as for the carb being too high remember i have that big boss 429 scoop that is just waiting to be filled......
Man, that 460 Mav is awesome! Can you say sleeper? I see absolutely no logical reason why this thread would be moved or deleted. It's in the correct place and has alot of good information.
Has any one tried the TCI or Heights set up i just got off the phone with Tim and the front end he sells is for a early falcon with frame rails measuring 31" out side to out side and 26" inside to inside with a hub to hub of 57" total but you can order it 5/8" narrower on each side..his price with shipping is $1799.00 and rod and customs is about $2400.00 if TCI would work that is more money left over for some other parts.
Boss 9 make an offer on the discs they are complete with upper and lower control arms as well ...if you want a pic ill send u one
I always thought an aluminum 806 ci in a Maverick would make the ultimate sleeper. Weighs about the same as a small block!
I think Heidt does the same thing as TCI. They make their front ends for falcons and mustangs and stuff. I'm sure they'd be willing to work with you though.
