    yes, if it will go in a falcon then you can make it go into anything you want,especially a maverick

    If it will fit in a Falcon, it will fit in a Maverick. Email it to me and I will resize it.

    I don't think a 429 with boss style heads has a prayer of fitting. Does this falcon have a mustang II conversion already?

    Anywho... TT big blocks get a big thumbs up in my book. This falcon isn't going to be a street car is it?

    That ain't no stock Falcon if it's getting a Boss 429.
    They did or need to do massive mods to get that in a Falcon.
    Since your Mav engine bay is very close to the Falcon, just figure on doing what they did to get it to fit.

    Heres the picture. Yes it has a Mustang II conversion, and yes it will be a "streetcar". Should make about 35-40psi boost.
