    Hey everyone, my name is Brendon (aka "tuske427") and I'm the other lucky recipient to the '74 Maverick that Curtis73 has spoken of.

    If anyone has any good sources or info on these cars, it would be appreciated. things like improving an structural weakenesses, reccomendations on certain books or other websites on these cars, any hollander exchange type info (which disc brakes would bolt up, what suspension pieces are good for swapping in, etc..)

    We were toying with the idea of swapping in a EFI 302 from a mustang or lincoln. (we'd want the roller block) fortunately, the car is already a 302, so it should bolt in. however, hooking up the fuel injection, making sure the fuel lines are the right diameter, the proper fuel pressure and wiring, etc.. any reccomendations or suggestions would be gladly welcomed.

    Thanks for your time!
