Welcome to the forum from Northeastern Illinois. Lot's of Mav info. on this site. Lot's of threads on brake upgrades ck out the tech section. I don't think you'll find many if any ideas on putting in an FE series block in the Mav chassis. Gud luck w/ the Mav:Handshake
from the great NW. If you remove the front suspension, the shock towers and replace them with a pinto style front suspension with rack and pinion steering you should have plenty of room for a big block. Otherwise, no.
Welcome from the Dallas, TX area. I have a lot of parts if you need any. And, I enjoy talking with other Maverick/Comet owners. Rick
Welcome from eastern N.C. Even the 351W has it's own fitment trouble. That's what I run, and even it requires modifying the car to get it to fit. Check this link out, the car belongs to Bigford598. That's what you'll have to do to run a 460. http://www.maverick.to/mmb/showthread.php?t=75389
from Northeast Pennsylvania If you take a look at "my images" in my user name, you will see what kind of work might be helpful in fitting a 460 into a Maverick. It has been done leaving the inner spring towers in the car but you would have to at least modify them and relocate them outboard somewhat.
