    Hello all, Have gone from a 72 Ranchero to a Mav, and love it. We started out with a 6cyl car with auto tranny, and 4 lug wheels. Now it sports a roller 302, built C4 and 5 lug all the way around. I plan on upgrade for the drivetrain as money comes, but have swaped for some goodies for it. I have seen MANY people here that can answer questions I might have. I am glad I found this great place to share our hobby with. I work on Fords on the side at a shop in Arlington ,Texas. Just because I am not too partial to the bow-tie crowd. I doubt I know all the answers, but might know one or two. Hope to help and be help by all here.:clap:

    Thank you
    Jimmy

The folks here are very knowledgeable about our favorite cars and are more than willing to help you with any questions you may have. Do you have any pics of your Maverick? We love pictures.:)

    Looks sharp.
    I would like a little info on the aircleaner.
    Where did you get it......?
    Did it help performance?
    I know Ivy runs one on his and it helped pick up some E.T.
    I thinks I would like to try that set-up.
