Thanks for the interview, was curious about this combo..carb discussion over my head.

Great car and interview

Another great car and Interview!

Back in '81, I bought 11 of these cars from a Ford/Lincoln/Mercury dealer for $750. They were former loaner/rental cars. Two had 250 cid engines and 9 had 302 cid engines. I spiffed them up a bit and sold 10. I kept a brown one and gave it to my oldest daughter. She drove it for 2-3 weeks and didn't want it anymore. Friends, at school made fun of the car because it was a Maverick. I took it to my shop, and I did major changes to it. I had a '69 Mustang Mach I that I bought at an insurance auction that had been T-boned wrecked. It had a 351 C 4v engine. I bought a new 351w HO crate engine with 700 CFM Holley carb, used the C6 transmission, rear end, rear spoiler, bucket seats, steering column, center console, shifter, and a few other items from the Mustang. Repainted the Maverick dark bronze pearl with new 3M stripes, front spoiler, 15x7 Magnum 500 wheels, headers, 3:70 rear Detroit Locker gears, rear sway bar, and Lakewood traction bars. 4-wheel disc brakes from a wrecked Lincoln Versailles, '65 Thunderbird sequential taillights, and switched all Maverick emblems with Shelby snake emblems. I picked up my daughter at school one day and drove her to her part-time job. She was impressed and wanted the car. I told her that she had already owned it. I gave it back to her for her high School graduation in '82. She still has the car even today. She maintains the car herself, puts it away for the winter, in her barn, on Labor Day weekend, and takes it back out on Memorial Day. She's raced it a few times with 4:30 Detroit Locker rear gears and drag radial tires. The car turns low 11's.

Bad Ass Car the 71-72 Grabbers were cool cars

Awesome Maverick

Good ole J code 302. I had one in a 68 Cougar. I wish I would have saved it for my 70 Maverick. My car weighed 2920 with same setup just not a J code 302 but a roller motor. Light is Might.

What kind of power is it making?

Awesome job.. Love the Mavericks and the bad*** 289 and 302 Ford motors.

Nice guy.

Automatic takes half the fun from driving and racing

Would it not help the et to set the wheelie bar lower so the wheel stands stay around 6-8” instead of a foot or two high?

New sub ! Liked 😀👍👍🙏

Tell Duane I'll give him double what he paid for it :D lol

NOT possible to put a Boss 302 engine into a Maverick without spring tower modifications. The cylinder heads are too wide and no room for exhaust manifolds/headers.
