    Hey everyone,
    I have a 70 Mav that my father was building up, but didn't get a chance to finish. I'm going to do my best to get the job done but I'm missing some parts. The car was a six cylinder that was converted to a 302. The car is converted to five lug and the rear end is a nine inch--not sure what it came out of. However, the car is missing the tranny. I know getting a C4 would be easy, but I don't have the crossmember or the driveline. The car is also missing the radiator. Any help locating these parts would be great!!!
    Thanks,
    Lou

    welcome to the board. those parts shouldn't be too hard to find. there is a little bit of difference in the tranny crossmembers. there is one for the 6 cylinder and another for the 8. someone on here should have those parts or you can try ebay.:Welcome:

    Yea, the C4 should be easy, but what about the drive line?
    I'll check ebay for the crossmember and summit for a radiator.

    Thanks.

    Be sure to check bell housing size on the c-4. I used a drive shaft from a 86 Ranger it worked fine. GOOD LUCK!
