76 Maverick Stallion.....

Looking forward to the updates!

 

Got a hold of a 77.....there are many good sheetmetal parts here...going to use the rear quarters and rockers...the yard said it was from Arizona...lots of surgery on the Stallion ahead...hopefully the weather will break...endless winter here in MN.

 

Man....I know you have a lot of work in the other car, but might be easier to move the Stallion over to THIS body.

 

the car is bent...otherwise it would be a shame to chop it up...now it gets to be used to help get mine on the road...

 

Awesome build! Keep the updated pixs coming

 

Got a 5.0 out of a 87 lx...it had a 5 speed behind it...I thought cool ...I have been looking for one for some time...as it turns out its a 1352-162...a 4 banger trans...I got the whole works very cheap...are there any upgrades that can be done to the trans? it did survive behind the 5.0...I don't build on luck...

 

you need to change the gears inside to v8 gears. either stock ones or aftermarket ones like gforce or astro gears. the other thing that happens when a 4 cylinder trans is put behind the v8s is that the input shaft is smaller and the pilot bearing doesnt support front of the input shaft. this will cause the front of the out put shaft to get eaten up. it can be repaired by welding and machining it.

 

Yep that's what I am going to do...thanks...

 

got the 1987 mustang 5.0 on the stand...

keeping it simple I will be running a carb and some oldschool motorsport bling...

picked up some GT40 heads and intake...will be using the 40's with the carb...the fuel injection is to be installed later...

 

Cool! Glad to see the build continuing!

 

Thank you....

 

Looking good... I'll be watching your progress...

 

Well...after some research it looks like I will have to do some mild bowl work on the GT40 heads...have not selected a cam yet...the 87 5.0 short block looks to be in great condition...got a Holly 600 for a carb...and a Weind intake...will be running long tube headers...

 

to say the winter here in Minnesota has been harsh is a understatement...started to dig out the Stallion today...

got it dug out...

I will pull it out and get it into the garage this weekend...

 

I got cold just looking at the picture...lol... Glad to here it's heading to the garage
