    Thanks to Dave (MaverickGrabber) I will be taking posession of a 69.5 Maverick that will be a great candidate for a Drag car. I'm thinking long term plan 5-7 years to build. I have ideas but not sure what power plant but for some reason 514ci and twin turbos has a nice ring. :evilsmile

    I'm not taking this lightly. I purchased a 61 Falcon 2 door wagon(with this type of build in mind) but sold it as I am a true mavericker. I already have 2 turbos but not big enough to feed the beast I want to build. Time will tell....on a brighter note I noticed there is a 557 ci 460 based stroker kit:bowdown:

    I knew you would pipe in. The time frame comes down to money. I would have it done in a year if I was Rich. This will cost upwards of 50-70k. Side jobs here I come:D I'm thinking Warp 11 capabilities here so bring on that mean ole' nasty Black Hole.

    I can completely relate to the time frame, I have no money myself which is why its taking me so long.little here, little there.

    but until you actually start the build....its all:bs: ........:evilsmile :D
