HiYa Peoples, I'm new here and glad to be a part of this maverick/comet chain Gotta question please, I have a 1975 four door maverick 4.1 inline (whatever this means) Is this a big 6 or ?? Also, is this motor faster/stronger than a Dodge 3.6 in a 2009 150 pickup truck? My hubby has this dodge truck and thinks that my maverick is faster than his truck. What do y'all think? Please answer if you can about the 4.1 as mentioned in my post. Thanks Y'all very much! zippylea
Hello, The 4.1 is a 250 cubic inch inline engine. These are great little engines and would very possibly be faster than the truck with each in stock form. It really depends on a lot of factors such as tuning and condition of engine. I've never driven the truck so I don't have a clue as to how fast it is. I'll tell you one thing though...it will be WAY cooler driving the Maverick!!! You won't hear anybody saying "wow, look at that TRUCK"!!!
Welcome from Ocala,Florida...... The 250 six is a great engine, I would like to think the mav is quicker...... Four door mavs are cool........Enjoy !
Thanxs everybody for your replies This is my second maverick. I had a 1973 back in the late 80's but had to sell her very sad to say b/c I could'nt take her with me. I loved driving a maverick back then and still do now. I guess when you get that Mav life in your blood it's there to stay! AMEN to that eh??
Thanxs RayZorSharp! Yes it's wayyy cool to have & drive a maverick any day! I had a 1973 hard top mustang also BUT the maverick still is my #1 car! Thanxs also for your info back to my questions, I surely do appreciate it! Zip...
Hi, thanxs for your reply and YES the mavericks are great!! I told my hubby that I was going to blow off his doors with my Maverick! Go Girl!! Zip...:bananaman
Welcome to the board. If the Maverick is in good running condition it'll be faster than the truck. Make sure you can stop just as fast.
Welcome the 250 is the biggest of the small block six cylinders. Their pretty torquey! Also it weights about half as much as the truck that helps too! Now drop a V8 in there if you want it to be four times as fast
Thanxs! I'm quit ignorant when it comes to cars and engines but I can learn Please educate me with anything about the 1975 mavericks as you can. Thanxs, Zip...
Thanxs Maverick 75..Luv ur name Now as far as putting a v8 in this mav, it would be nice but then I could'nt afford to pay for all the racing tickets that I would get Ok, keep me posted, Zip...
Oh kool !!! Does ur car zoom down the pavement?? Is there alot of differences between the comet & maverick? How about it's interrior?? Thanxs!, Zip...
