Does a 91 hp 200 engine have potential?

sorry to say,but these cars go for more with a v8 transplant.mavericks haven't hit the "highly sought after"status...yet.(except for us who love'em)more than likely,when they do,you'll still pull more dough after a v8 swap,disc brakes etc.unless it's an all orig.sprint or stallion(those are the one's i personally would not alter,except for a disc brake swap)i say swap in a v-8 disc,and some gears and have some fun!

 

Put in a 6 cyl truck engine with an aftermarket cross flow head to replace the no-flow head. Then it'll run more better.

 

I still think if it's a maverick it's a maverick if it's a grabber it's a grabber, It really depends on the shape it's in. If their was a mav in mint cond, and mav with a v8 in it that was'nt a grabber around here you would get more for the originality in a car show . proven fact.

 

And you can't beat up a 170, 200 ,250, everyone knows that these were one of fords best motors ever made, just can't kill them, or beat'em up.

 

you do realize that most grabbers were 6 cylinders don't you.

 

No... a 6 cylinder Maverick will NEVER be worth as much as a V8 Maverick, no matter what the car originally had in it. THAT is a proven fact.

 

you might wanna rephase that... to most...

cuz if the v8 looks like crap and the I6 is mint..... well

 

Did You Always Know That, Or Did You Happen To Read That Somewhere

 

we are the "maverick enthuists"
i would take a slightly rougher (not rotted out) v8 over a 6cyl.
some have to have a "grabber". my grabber ("73) came with a flat hood, bench seat and a 6cyl. auto. i bought it because it was a maverick, didn't find out it was a grabber untill i got it home..."maverick enthuist"...frank...

 

Car shows don't know "jack" about what came in a mav. ..except...Boss 302,
4 speeds and "was a Grabber GT" ...frank...
