: First off, I think this message board is great. Anyway, Since it is so hard
: to put a Big block in a Maverick. Then which Small block is the to go with. I
: want my mav to run fast on a street motor. I was thinking of the ford 392ci
: stroker crate engine featured in car craft a few month back. Will the 351W engine
: fit nicely in a 71 Maverick. OR should I just use a 302 and stroke it to 355 and run the
: same GT40x heads? I just want to have good info before I stuffing that 392Ci engine under the
: hood of my car. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks, Dan
I've seen late model street driven 5.0 (302-347) Mustangs go deep into the nine second range, so why would you need to go faster than that?
