I'd say high 12s. The cam might be a tad big for non-ported heads, and a double pumper would probably help your ET.
one of my cars has a really close set up to yours... but of course has some differances it has 3:55 gears and 1.60 exaust on the valves and the heads are just a bit ported, Holley 700 dp, 10 inch 2800 stall. I know you really can't compare car for car but sounds close. Car runs in the 13.70 to 13.50s on BFG Drag Radials. Not that fast but fun to drive.
also don’t forget you can bench race all you want... and have theoretical answers, very close times with a g-tech, computer programs that give times… but when it all comes down to it… the only time that counts is down the track or with a 3 wheel testing thingy like motortend uses. Remember always better to see the glass half full then think the cars going to hall ass and it doesn’t. I use to love it when I would go to the track and some guy would tell me that my car should be doing low 12’s and then they tell me that theres will run a 11’s easy. then when they take it out it runs a high 14’s. Hum? Bottom line take it out see what it does you’ll have fun and know a real time good luck
True i agree i just wanted a ballpark it dosnt matter much.ill be racing this year.wish i had a pic the car is cherry.AFRs this winter and custom roller cam cant wait
What is your MPH? Are the 1973s that much heavier? My Maverick weighs about 3100 with me in it. Stock 5.0L short block, stock E7TE heads with some porting and GT40 valves, B303 cam w/1.7:1 rockers. Stealth intake with a Holley 650 DP. 3.70:1 gears. Nothing too fancy. I've got a stick tranny, but pulled a 13.06@106 with a 2.0 60' time. One of these days I can pull a better 60'. I figured the gears and lower weight could bring him into the high 12s. I know what you mean though MavMan, I get sick of hearing what cars *should* run instead of what they do.
Hey charlie--are the stock 87 up e7te heads better than the original 70's heads??? if so, that is a cheap power adder. i noticed you were using them
gawd.. i gotta go look at my time slips.. don't pay to much attention to my bule car cuz its slow... but if I recall i think it was in the mid 90's mph or so... i gotta go dig them up. also my bule cars a peg legger. the cams also a 108 lobe center and sound really cool but really meet for a stick like yours... but damn it sure dose fly on the fwy!
went through this last sunday. Some guy asked me what the Turbo maverick would run, I laughed and told him "maybe a 14 flat." Ended up making a 20 foot run (detonation!! ), 60' was a 2.04, and coasted to a 12.99. I think it's got a 10 in it
