Modular Maverick Build page

ok you get the offical i lost my mind on maverick title lol

man that car looks great i love everyhting you done so far keep the pics coming its awsome

 

Update 2/23/10

Been awhile since I updated this. Hard to get alot of progress going and find time to post pics with a 6 week old baby and work. I did however find time to finish grafting in the Mustang firewall, and I also got the new core support made, which is removable! Reason Im using the Mustang firewall is because Im using pretty much everything out of the Mustang so now everything will bolt right up. I will be using the Mustang dash and gauges as well. Here's a couple pics which is about all I have time for at the moment.



Also here is a fun expensive little piece. Gets rid of the huge oil cooler/water outlet on the Cobra engine. Saves a ton of room and will have a remote mount oil filter as well. The adapter is made by Moroso and the fittings are meziere. Got about $175 tied up in this little piece.

 

Great lookin piece of fabrication work.

 

Awesome!!!

 

Nice!... I really like the Rad Support. I've been thinking about mine a lot hear lately. There is just nothing at all appealing about the factory setup.

Great progress and congrats on the newborn.

 

Thanks guys. Yeah Im with you about the ugly rad support, with as nice as the rest of the engine bay will be I couldnt have that ugly piece sitting in there. I'm gonna redo the hood latch as well. Something a bit more pleasing to the eye.

If you want I can give you the measurements for the rad support.

 

looks good. also looks like the stearing colum will come out right ontop of the frame rail.

 

Thanks but Im sure that when I get around to it, it will have to be customer to my needs at that time. ie radiator size, intercooler fitment....

 

Well Im using the Mustang column and it has a u-joint right where it comes out. Which works out good because then it will go right over the engine frame mounts. I do however have to weld a support bearing to the frame , basically a hiem joint. No biggie.

 

Intercooler fitment????? ah sookie sookie. I've got something I'll post up in a day or so.

 

Another update

Well I got a few more things done. Core support is pretty much finished just have to drill some holes for the hoodlatch. Intercooler is mounted. This is is good for 450-500 HP which is plenty for me right now. Probably will be running one large turbo but havent decided yet. Im gonna keep the boost low till I get stronger pistons and rods.

 

man that car is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!

what are you going to use for a filler panel? wont that IC get in the way?

 

Thanks, Im probably going to go with a shelby racing style front bumper or make one of my own have decided yet. If I do decide to keep the front bumper I'll just trim a little off the back sides of the filler panel. You could mount the IC lower but then you risk everything smashing into it. Where it is it's better guarded, plus some air can still hit the bottom of the radiator and come up through since its not totally blocked by the IC. I left several inches of space between the IC and the radiator so I hope cooling wont be an issue.

 

I love progress. Do the shelby bumper.

 

anymore updates?
