maybe last nice day took some shots of the Maverick today

I hear ya! In a high profile car like yours its good for the cops to see that you "support them" when they are riding behind you!

 

yahoo now thats what i like to see gives me incentive to go work on mine.... cars looks awwwsum :bananaman

 

My 393W idle to 3800 rpm

 

Sounds mean!

Just wondering, how does that thing run on the street? Do you drive it pretty often? Just curious, and again very nice car! Country

 

drive it as much as i can only about 1300 miles on the motor and trans, runs real strong raced a few cars on the street that run in the mid to high 11's in the 1/4 did not have a lot of trouble leaving them, with no roll cage can't take it to the track and make a full run they will toss me out the frames are tide and the torque boxs and front frame have been beefed up Thanks there is some body work that needs to be done the Hood lip is bad, but for now it will do the paint has a good gloss to it so till i save the $$ to get the paint and body done going back with the same yellow and with the grabber stripes

 

just wondering what the requirements for historical plates in your state. in CA all the car has to be is 25 years old and then you don't have to smog it. well your only supposed to drive it to and from events (car shows etc.)

just wondering...

 

That 393W sounds real good!!! I didn't realize that you had stroked the windsor......what headers are you running??

Do you think it has enough for the little 347?? j/k

 

headers

I listened to your sound file MAN !!!..howd ya get the headers to fit AND seal...I made mine but have restrictions ( chokes engine I feel like) I cant tell cause 1st and 2nd gears are wheel wasters..I have a c-6 w 10 inch converter 3.70 ford 9 inch with clutch type posi...My NEXT project is to make a better set of headers...maybe you can point me in the direction of headers like you have...I didnt hear any leaks

 

I don't wanna talk about leaks

My headers leak bad. Problem is, to change the gasket, I would have to pull the engine. And that is N-O-T gonna happen! So I just let it leak. (Breathe, baby, breathe ) Country

 

Why would you have to pull the motor to change exhaust manifold gaskets?? I've never seen a maverick/comet that required you to pull the motor to change manifold gaskets??

 

my headers are the Hedman Elite Hedders 500-88308 not 1 3/4" but they work good the Machine shop that did the block work milled the gaskets suface so its flat no leaks CometGT1974 ill run your 347 off the bottle
Maverick Man requirements for historical plates in ohio is 25 years cost 17 bucks no tax and they are good for 45 years

thanks all

 

Well...

I'm thinking that the bolts that I used are too long to be backed out completely. I believe that they will hit the shock towers first. Hopefully I am wrong, but it is a VERY close fit. But ya'll already know that . I dunno.......... Country

 

Grabber thats a fine ride...I cant get the sound file to load
bummer.
I went to get plates the other day and asked the woman about classic plates... she says oh yea...your car qualifies, but you can only drive it in parades and to shows if you get them...I said you gotta be joking and looked at her like she was stupid.
But the plate was 11 bucks so I didnt complain too much

 

every day i drive mine its a parade or show :bananaman

 

Amen!

All I gotta say is "I Heard Dat" But actually I don't think that a line of patrol cars with lights flashing in "pursuit" qualifies as a "parade". Although it would be a "show" Just kidding! Country
