    Missing my old '70 Maverick
    Wow. 'Just got it. Major Congrats!

    I'd forgotten about the 393! :eek: (please let us know how the 8" holds up at the track though - we GOTTA know).

    (sorry for the picture quality. It was as big a fille as I could upload)

    "Not Your Average Maverick

    David Moore of Pataskala, Ohio, says that his car is not just another '72 Maverick Grabber, and we have to agree with him. The slightly-out-of-the-ordinary gold paint with purple flames complements the Centerline wheels and factory dual-nostril hood.

    When we look under the hood, things get even more interesting, with a big Windsor engine, stroked and opened up to a displacement of 393 cubic inches. A Scat forged-steel crank and Eagle H-beam rods contend with the radical 11.5:1 compression ratio.

    On top of the block are AFR aluminum cylnder heads. Valves are actuated by a Com Cam roller cam featuring some big numbers. A Weiand Stealth intake and Mighty Demon 820-cfm carburetor complete the engine. A C4-three-speed automatic transmission with a 3,500-rpm stall-speed converter transmits the power to an 8-inch axle with 3.80 gears.

    David tells us he just finished putting the car together, so we assume he hasn't had a chance to try things out yet. We have a sneaking suspicion that he didn't build the car to take his grandma to the supermarket."

    edited: "gold paint" was "gold pain". Ha! 'Sorry.
