Basically any engine other than the 289/302/5.0 and their stroker variants(331/347) are going to require some fab work to use... Either 351C or W are wider so that clearance is at a premium, 390, 460, 4.6L(eech, I'd use a Chevy first) etc won't fit without cutting shock towers... All those engines are anywhere from 50-200lbs heavier, which should also be a consideration, plus the big block engines won't bolt to a transmission that fit a 302...
panel extensions just wondering about panel extensions? can someone show me a pic with and without im bidding on some but they only come as a pair do i need more parts for the middle and the bottom. is it worth doing. thanks all!
well i have done the 351w and i would definately say that you should go with the 302, its a lot of work for the 351 and if i wouldve known how much work it was gunna be to put in i prolly wouldve went with a 302. but my engine is in and im not looking back.... if you have any questions about the swap i did just let me know!
you have extension on the back of your car i can get a set of left and right ones but do you need the middle too and bottom if you have pic would help out too. cause if i cant find the other parts then i dont want to buy the planels?
well actually the extensions on my car are factory, they arent the grabber extensions, when i replace my panels im prolly just going to use the original ones that i have. if your looking for grabber extensions then i would suggest asking around this site because i cant find that middle piece that goes on the trunk deck either, i have searched the internet everywhere and i cant find one i do know that a couple ppl on this site have some for sale or at least could probably get some because i have asked a couple guys too if your factory extensions are cracked then i have a donor car with good ones on it that i really have no use for if your interested, or if you need any other parts from it just let me know! p.s. what im looking at doing to my car is putting a mach 1 spoiler on rather than the extensions, i have seen a couple of mavericks online with them on and it looks freaking sweet! its just an idea if you cant get the extensions or want something different like i do!
not really good pic but car is right at end of my garage for now untill it gets warmer then i can push it up. its not too bad it might grow on me.
i need vent covers if you look at my pics you should see i think i need two. i wish they had wall wall art where you could cicle stuff and point stuff out better maybe ill take it up with head office lol. and do you have manual stuff out of your car i want to swicth my auto to manual. and a arm rest on the passenger side but i think just the clip that goes over, or if its black ill take the whole thing. all this talk is making me hungry to work on my car gotta go.
ya that spoiler is different lol, i see what you mean about getting the extensions and if you are having trouble finding anything and you dont like what you have on there you could always get a factory trunk lid and regular extensions and go back to stock..... and as far as shipping i could probably do it but i think you would have to pay for shipping costs. i guess i have never shipped anything out of country so idk what all goes into that unless you do
well since your car a 76 my interior pieces wont work because they changed the design almost year to year. in 73 they didnt have a glove box, it was a shelf pretty much and the vents are smaller and narrower so i cant even give you those... i have a 76 too and it has the same vents but my whole bottom dash piece is cracked in a couple places so im gunna have to replace the whole thing and i know where i could get that piece so maybe if i get it then i could take out those vents for you since mine are still good...... it would be a little while before i get it tho
73s did have glove boxes as mine does but I have read that some early 73 models had package trays (if im not mistaken)
it must only be the early ones because mine only has the tray but now that you say that i have seen a couple other 73 mavericks with the glove boxes
