    Yea, I noticed that after I looked at the picture. White sucks. I need to do a major clean anyway in a couple of weeks for the Silver Spring event down in FL.

    Awsome lookin motor. Is it going through that grabber hood? If your running alot of compression That underdrive pully might cause a cooling problem when ideling.

    Thanks , That picture is about a year old. The engine had 12.8 to
    1 compression, and with a 4 row brass radiator it had no overheating problems.

    I sorta cut that post short :rolleyes: To better answer your question ...No I didnt cut my Grabber hood, and I never will!
    I have a flat hood thats cut but it needs some paint before I bolt it on. I`ve sold the short block and the 2 holley 600`s from the engine in the picture(it ran VERY well with that set up tho.)
    and have since built a 5.0 roller engine with 10.2 to 1 compression
    that looks exactly like the engine in the picture did ,but it has 2 450 holleys and a milder cam I`ll be firing it up before new years day :D I also have a Summit aluminum radiator now and the old 4 row brass one is going into my `70 Daily driver project car.

    By the way are you the same D.hines in Atlanta who had the yellow Grabber a few years back? I have a picture I took at Fun Ford weekend at Commerce,Man that was a top notch sweet car!

    Yup - that was my Yellow Grabber .. sold that about 3 or 4 years ago.. Working on a new one that if all goes well will be nicer ..... We are gonna try to set up a Maverick Meet at Fun Ford Weekend this year - it is sometime in April ....

    Two 1973 LDO Mavericks (one 4 Drag one 4 driving like Mad on the roads :) ) also have a 75 6cyl Stock! Ok, well sort of Stock :P
    wondering that part number is hooker number or a jegs part number? cuz the ones i got on my car were hooker 6110-1 just wondering if im tell people the wrong thingy.. or if someone marked something up wrong on an invoice?

    fyi you will need to convert to a floor shifter if you have a standard auto colum shifer in your maverick

    No Maverick Man they are also listed with P.A.W. `s catalogue as
    6901 ... I dont have the catalogue handy right this minute but I think that the complete part number for the headers with the coating is 6901-1
