I am the one who put Canadian Mustang parts on my Maverick...but it was everything BUT the springs. In the research I have done, Mustang springs ARE NOT the same as a Maverick. I think I read somewhere that Mustangs were available with 23 different springs.
Here are two sources: Eaton Detroit Springs made my NEW front springs, specifically for my application: 1972 Grabber, 302, cast iron heads, power steering, air conditioning....price: $120
Also Espo Springs can make them....I think theirs are $50
Hope this helps.

: Just passing along advice given to me. The diminsions, as far as size of the spring, are the same. I was not recommending a big block spring for a small block application. I didn't think I had to point that out, as Mavericks never came with a big block.
: Check the archives. Somebody here put small block performance springs from Canadien Maustang, I think, into their Maverick and it worked great. I am going to do the same soon and will report on the results.
