    I've been reading this forum for awhile, decided to sign up! Its a really cool place for mavs. I have a 72 that is my dad's and mine! It had a 347 with a top loader 4-speed in it with leafs and no frame connectors it ran 10.90s!! I'm getting ready to redo the entire car over. I want a pump gas 8 second ride! I'll post pic's as we go along. Thanks for looking

    I thought I remembered seeing that on E-bay around 6-8 months ago. As I recall it as having high (12.5:1 or something in that neighborhood) Is that the car I am thinking about? Oh, Sweet mav, but thats not a hot rod. I have hot rods, you have a racecar.
