Well I've been looking and looking and looking for a Maverick that was the right price at the right time and what I wanted it to be. Well I gave up on that dream lol. I've found a few mavericks local to me that are projects that people have given up on. There complete cars that either need motor or tranny work. The car I'd be starting with would be a 72 200 car that I'd just immediately throw the 6 out of it. I've also managed to find a guy local to me who has a rebuilt 351c with some performance parts. Its got 10k miles on the rebuild and its coming out of a parts torino he bought. I would also be getting the C4 thats in the car as well. So to start out the questions..... I know I'll need the V8 motor mounts.... I will also need the tranny crossmember correct? What about all the ign componets and etc??? Would I be able to pull them out of that torino and slap them in the maverick? Essentially would I be able to gut the engine bay of the torino for use on the maverick? The alt, fan, all the accesory drive stuff??? Any specific parts I"d need to go ahead and purchase to make it work?? I know I'll need to shave down the shock towers.... unless there is a way around that which I'd prefer. I'm guessing I'd be stuck with some sort of manifold and just running some exhaust of my own accord to finish it off. Any advice or help you guys could give me would be much appreciated. I'd like to get everything I need while I'm out of the country so I"m not running out every other day for a part I didn't know I needed. If I can get it all know and put it in the garage I can lay in to it for a few solid weeks when I get back and get her running.
If it were my torino I would lol. There are actually quite a few torino's for sale locally in my price range but I'd rather have a maverick. I'm not sure what the torino's weigh in at but its got to be a good 500 lbs heavier then the maverick. Part of the reason I love mavericks is cause there so freaking light.
