    A few years back I had some desoto parts mostly engines and these were hot selling items because of the sizes 292 I think was cubic inch or close.Has anyone tried or seen one in a comet or maverick.I found another one with trans for 200 bucks. might try to get it for investment even if it would not fit.seems to me the guys that bought mine had chevys I cant remember thanks Eric:hmmm::naughty: pops car desoda cola

    Mustang II's have very few parts that work on Mavericks.
    Desoto hemi's won't fit either.
