    Hello everyone. Names Paul. So last week I traded my 88 foxbody for a 71 and 72 Mavericks. The 71 I'm doing just a mild 302 and C4. The 72 has already had some work done. 9 inch rear will 31 spline axles and a spool. I'm using a 351c and C4. Going for about 450 to the tires.. Shouldn't be to hard with the Cleveland... Thanks for any help I can get, or give to anyone... Paul

    'Sounds like a lot of fun. I definitely prefer Mavericks to Fox-bodies.

    I was going to do a 351W install but people convinced me to go with a built 302 instead. A 351 requires a shock tower shave (modification) and is really tight even to change plugs.
