    78 Futura with 200 I6. I believe it has front disk brakes 4 lugs. What parts can I use on my 70 & 74 Mavericks?

    Thanks Craig. It may really be a Fairmont; but,I am sure that the same. It has a 4 lug rearend, it's worth anything? The axle code was "Y".

    Paid $150, I can scrap for that after removing the motor and trans.

    Has more in common with Mustangs....including the interior. For $150....you can't go wrong. I don't think the rear axle is worth anything....but I really don't know.

    brooks.....how is the body on that Futura? I'm looking for a decent bodied Futura for a customer. I'd be glad to take it off your hands for the $150 once you get the engine/transmission out. I'm near Houston. If you have any pics could you forward them to: fairmontology@yahoo.com

    Thanks!

    you'll probably be able to find more in common with the later fox bodies.

    will the v8 conversion parts swap to a maverick i wonder?

    ShadowMaster, the 78 I have looks like the one in the driveway where you are selling the while Maverick. I trade it complete straight up for the Maverick.
