    Hey, so I picked up a 70 maverick this summer for cheap. It's all striped and the body is in great shap (no rust!) I was going to pro street it but changed my mind when I picked up a 351c for nothing. I think I'm going to build a grabber with this (or what the grabber should have been if it was a performance option) was wondering if anyone here has ever tried to put a Cleveland in a maverick and what I would have to do. I'm going with a mustang ifs and a four speed.

    Thanks.

    Here's mine. It started with a 351W but will end with a 351C.

    I'm going to widen the shock towers out for more room, there are headers available for the swap if you don't wand to do a lot of cutting.
