    just picked up my White 77 Maverick a few months ago. I've been looking for one in great shape for a long while, found one on Craigslist for $1000. I'm looking forward to putting 18" Staggered rims soon...any pointers on that? Also would like to put a modern 4.6 without cutting strut towers....anyone know what's needed?

    18's will be tough to fit. Rim width/tire size will have alot to do with it. Pointers on the 4.6 swap...Remove towers, go to an M II type front suspension. Not saying it cant be done, it can. Its just not going to be a simple bolt on/in thing.
    Welcome to the madness!!!

    :Welcome:to the site..... I don't think a 2 valve 4.6 will fit without cutting the towers, and I can guarantee a 4 valve will not fit without cutting them.....
