:bananaman Hello, everyone Happy thanksgiving!1! have 72 mavrick, 6 cyl green with black interior . bench seat and auto matic. want to put my 347 stroker and c 4 in this car . but i dont know what i need . this is my first mav. could any one help me with the info ,??? or the parts thank you SHAWN
You will need the 302 frame mounts, motor mounts, and the V8 transmission crossmember. The 6 cylinder ones are single hump, the V8s are double hump for the exhaust. Not a very hard job to do... been done around here a few times (friend did it once by fabricating his own parts instead of buying the NOS parts) 347 would be good for that car But if you don't like it........ send it my way
Shawn, You also need to plan on a new radiator. The inlet and outlet on the 6 cyl radiator is too small. You can have it modified to work but I highly recommend just buying a new v8 one, especially with that stroker. Good luck with the car, and as always...WE NEED PICS!!!
Yes, I failed to mention the radiator..... mine has a 6 cylinder radiator in it for the time being... and it looks like they just "hit" the metal in the way with a BFH and called it done..... Thanks TMC for the compliment
Might want to at least go with a 5lug 8",they have bigger brakes & axle bearings.8"'s are fairly strong with an auto,but you might cosider the 9" if you can afford it.
Depending on where you are.... I may have a 8'' rearend for you I have 5 lug 8'' w/ 4.62 gears... I will proboally run it for a while until I narrow up a 9'' and convert the whole car to disk brakes, but I may let it go. Where are you located?
