    any ideas, my dad want to put on a 4bbl carb(i dont even know if you can do that, i know you can do a 2bbl conversion) i dont know where to find parts for the I6 any sites that sell performance engine parts would be awesome(cams, intake heads, pistons...you get the idea)

    also other than motor work anyother ways to get more power.

    what about the drivetrain how much an a 72 maverick hold up to?

    it can handle more HP than you can throw at it(at least with the 6 cyl);)
