: HELLO...
: New reader on the Maverick Page; very interesting.
: I'm one of the very few Maverick owner/appreciator in my area,
: Salem, Va. I have 3 cars and 2 parts cars. One is destined for a
: 460 cid/4-speed (5-speed ?) and I just purchased a Mustang II Front
: IFS for the conversion.
:It worked for Dyno Don back in the 70s. Theshock towers will be your biggest headache. The Must. II suspension will help out allot. The 5sp. manual trans will not handle 460 torque. If you go with a stick shift, an hydralic throw bearing my be the easiest way to go. Auto is less headaches. But personal preferences. Use the big block Stang coil springs as your front spring guide. Enjoy. Looking for to end results.
