    Looks like a solid starting point. Almost no surface rust even .... very good!

    One thing to note .... the front valance is from a 1973. The 71-72 valance has a smaller opening under the bumper. That part just recently became available as a reproduction part.

    Glad to see the roof rack was the first thing taken off the car .... lol.

    So i am going to curb the ecoboost idea as i picked up a 1996 f150 for $175 will swap everything over but will start with measurements if it is even feasible to put a 300 in it. my brother tried and said it was too big, i'll try some more mods and see if i can make it work

    It will take lots of mods to get a 300-6 in a Maverick

    I know the more i look the more concerning but not worried about it too much just yet, do you know where i can find information about it, i can only seem to find opinions and people saying to just do 302, i want to be different which i wanted the ecoboost but since i got this pickup basically free i figured id give it a shot cuz its different
