Hello Everyone I just joined up on your Forums!, I know this is a 1970 and up Maverick and Comet forums but I was reading threw a lot of the threads before hand and you guys seem like really Kool car guys. I just purchased a clean 1962 Comet coupe and I plan on installing a 1999 Cobra modular 4v drive train which I just picked up this weekend.
from Northeast Pennmsylvania The modifications that you will have to do to fit that engine in your 62 Comet will be of interest to the 70-77 crowd here, I can assure you. In fact, the Mustang II crossmember, going in my 70 Maverick, is actually built for an early Comet/Falcon.
yep welcome, we are all gear heads here , we love seeing all kinds of projects, they give us info and ideas for the mavericks and comets, some of us have "other" projects besides a mav./comet, so glad to have ya,but be aware you may get bit by the maverick or comet bug and be hooked like the rest of us...not a bad thing? oh and we are a picture driven bunch so don't be shy about posting the pics. of your projects.
Welcome to the board. Love to see pics in progress. What part of Jersey are you from? I was born in Montclair.
Hey Guys thanks for the Welcome! I should have my Comet by Monday the transporter picked it up in Kentucky on Thursday. Its a nice clean original car with 66000 original miles. I crew chief for one of my friends running in the NMRA series Modular Muscle class. The last race of the year was in Bowling Green Ky, they had a car show and swap meet there, so when I had some free time a took a ride in the pit bike and came across this car and made a deal and bought it! Being around all the Modular guys in the pits all season made me think about installing a modular motor in this 2450 lb lightweight! We have an autobody shop family buisness were I started working after school when I was 12 years old, I am now 39! This will be the first time I have done a build like this; I am used to repairing Soccer Moms suv's hitting a parked car picking up the kids from school for the last 25 + years.
