    ok well i have another question on this same topic if anyone is still looking at this thread.
    what is the difference between the grabber and just the normal or regular maverick? also does anyone know if you can get carbon fiber fenders? trying to think of ways to cut weight

    Stickers, and some interior colors, spoiler and hood one some years, that's the difference (and the code in the vin).
    No one makes carbon fiber fenders.

    I stand corrected on the GTs. I just learned something about 'em as every GT I have seen had a 302 between the shock towers and that was what I was going by.

    The only way you're going to get them is having them made from scratch from what I've seen in my search for parts.

    Before you concider that as an option, you might want to check with the people offering Carbon Fiber parts on here as to what the costs were to set everything up.

    Clevelands will fit with stock suspension using Tubular Automotive headers. Trimming of the shock towers is optional but insane tight without doing so.

    ok thanks dave for the info. as far as the 351w goes with the shock towers are there any risks in cutting them back? also can a car that came with a i6 be able to take the weight of a larger motor? of was all the suspension the same?

    there were V8 springs and I6 springs and that was the only difference in suspension that really matters when doing a V8 swap. Some guys/gals have done the V8 Swap and left the I6 springs but I have heard that you can have alignment issues if you do that.
