: Anyone know of any boss 302 headers that are made to fit a maverick?
: Do you know if shock tower modifications will need to be made?
: Has anyone here ever put a boss 302 in a maverick and is it a good fit?
: Thanks
I have seen a Boss 302 in a maverick, but he had the shock towers cut back
for clearance and it seemed to fit ok even if he hadn't cut it. Anyone who
has had their front coils out can tell you that there is about 3" of room
between the shock tower and the spring. Have a professional cut the towers
and mig weld some flat steel in it's place. Do that and you have more than
enough room for a Boss. Down side, the engine needs to be out unless you are
starting with a car with a 6 in it. Then i would think that there would be plenty
of room to do the surgery with it in one piece.
