Jason,
I can appreciate your frugality, but this is not a good way to save money. For one thing, the combination will not fit in a Maverick without MAJOR (and expensive) modifications to the car, specifically the shock towers and trans tunnel. The C-6 is overkill for a Maverick anyway. The other thing is that the 360 is, in my humble and by no means expert opinion, the worst engine ever produced by the Ford Motor Company. Save your $300 and buy something else that you really need, or bank it for later.
Good luck!
: Hey guyz, i work with this dude (the same dude that sold me those cragar SS's way cheap) and he has this Jeep with a Ford 360 in it. he is offering to sell me the engine and the tranny (most likely a C6 he says cuz the jeep is 4x4) for $300 bux?? i was wondering if you guyz could .. uh... advise me on this issue. like would the block fit resonably well?? is the tranny swapable? is the block even worth it?? like just give me any and all input you need. And if you need any more info (like year or whatever) just ask and i'll find out. THANKS GUYZ!!!
