That motor is coming out soon. He just built a fresh 289 with a Holley 4-barrel to swap in... EDIT: Just realized you were talking to the O.P. (LOL!!!)
OOps. Least someone knows what'm doing, I apparently don't. . My older daughter about disowned me cause I wouldn't buy her a stacked headlight Fairlane. She even found one that'd had just been repainted, but otherwise it had about everything wrong that could be on a 20 year old car(this was 1987). She got over it when I bought a really nice '79 Mustang, recently painted, running horse decals down sides etc. Cute as could be, yeah kinda girly. Still mentions that Fairlane occasionally. The Stang was one of those deals that could not be passed by, $600 from local Pontiac dealers wholesale line. PO bought it approx a year prior and paid over $3000 for it.
Welcome from Oklahoma! Lots of Mavericks in Texas, it won't be hard to find some folks to hang out with.
