Hello, we have a 70 Maverick, original 73k mile 200 6 cyl car. Want to upgrade to 460. I would like some info on inexpensive modifications to engine bay with stock exhaust manifolds if anyone has some tips??
Unless u plan to modify/shave/remove shock towers going with 302/5.0 base engine, much less expensive and easier to accomplish.
Thank you. I found a bunch of posts about this after I posted, but couldn't find the delete post option.
Welcome! https://www.badasscars.com/index.cfm?ptype=product&product_id=104&category_id=13&home_id=3&mode=prod will fit with stock exhaust manifolds, retains stock suspension, no mods to shock towers.........408W is one of the best all round stroker build too! David
Welcome from sunny Arizona! Where in South Dakota are you? I have friends in the area around Spearfish.
Great looking car. Shoe horning a 460 into one of these is quite a task, maybe you have access to one that you want to us?
I have a machined 460 block, hi-comp forged pistons, big cam, single plane intake. D0ve heads. So I wasn't sure if I wanted to proceed or stick a Cleveland or Windsor in it.
Welcome!! Iv only ever seen one in person with a 460 and the towers were cut and played back and the master cylinder was moved. Way tight though.
Well we decided to go with a 351, not sure if it's a Cleveland or Windsor that we're going to do yet but that seems like the best bet.
Welcome from Sunny Florida!! I would recommend considering the R&K conversion and you'll have plenty of room, and a much better driving car. It's not cheap, but to me it's well worth it. I just bit the bullet, can't wait for it to be done.
