    Thanks guys, we have a edelbrock plate kit for it we have been dying to spray it. But i need new rear shocks, and some cal trac bars, im kind of at a lose of a good rear shock to use for it, any sugggestions? We hope to get into the low 10s on the bottle. Its hard keeping up with all our projects we have 5 mavericks, i will upload a pic of my fathers mav which is a 71 mav we are currently putting an aje front susp. And a crate motor from ford in. This pic is when we both ran in bradenton at nmra.

    Looks awesome!

    For the rear shocks, try the Ranchos that you can buy from Calvert Racing. They're probably the best bang for the buck and will fit directly. If you change the mounting points and add an anti-roll bar you can get some good QA-1 adjustables for more $$.
