Would it be possible to install a Mopar 225 Slant 6 engine into a 1970 Ford Maverick? Also, could I put in a hemi or 12 cylinder in there. The previous owner said that there was enough room for a 12 cylinder but I don't know?
Anything's possible with lots of money. A 12 cylinder would never fit in the Mav without huge modifications. Not worth the effort and hassel. If power is what you want, go with a small block Ford - the engine Ford put in the Mavs. -Corbin
You'd have to fabricate the mounts for the motor and transmission. You'd need the trans also. I'd like to see anyone shoehorn a 12 cylinder in there! I'm curious why you'd want to put a Mopar plant in a Maverick.
Mmmmm.... ...yeah but why to the first one. Not without a lot of cutting and sheetmetal work to #2. Not without building a custom front end to #3 as well as recessing the dash. Oh, and why to those last to as well when for much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much less $$$ and time you can do a small block Ford V8 swap that will run circles around most of the cars on the street. But, hey, if it's a challenge you are looking for, go for it. I just get the feeling that since you are asking the questions above, you probably not familiar with engine swaps of these types. Seth
My friend wanted to sell me his Mopar 225 Slant 6 and we didn't know if it would be compatible wiht my car, how much hp would a small block ford have and how much would you think it would cost?
get your wallet ready A Jaguar v-12 isn't all that big, but get ready to do some major surgery to get it bolted in. (including coming up with an enterely different fuel injection system.The Jacobs system is garbage.)
Compatability DD- In order for this to work, you'll have to have some pretty advanced fabrication skills and complete front to back knowledge of the vehicles you are transplanting from and to. Please don't take any offense, but I'd imagine that if you have to ask, you probably aren't ready to do it. That said, I should say that I would be ecstatic if you proved me wrong. If you really want to make it happen, you can do anything, but keep in mind it will take twice as long and cost three times as much as you thought. And that's just for starters. You can make it happen if you put your mind into it. I'm sure I speak for most of the people on here when I say any advice we can offer is yours for the asking.
how much power a sbf has is directly proportional to how much money you got. or is that how much you had...
To answer your question... ...how much HP will a small block Ford produce. The previous post is correct. It does depend on $$$. You could build a car with 300 HP at the rear wheels with less than $5K in the engine. It greatly depends on how much you do yourself. However, there are probably going to be other items that need to be upgraded; 4 lug to 5 lug swap if needed, transmission upgrade, stronger rearend. That could easily add $2-$3K depending on how much you do and where the parts come from. You can buy a Ford crate engine that has decent HP for less than $3K. Do a search on Ford Racing parts. Seth
So would a Mopar 225 Slant Six Engine fit in a 1970 Ford Maverick. And if it would, would i need to make any modefications under the hood? Also, would any know how much hp the mopar 225 slant 6 engine would have i replaced all the rings, pistons, camshaft, lifters, feul pump, rods, Intake to Exhaust Kit, Fuel Pump Kit, Valve Cover Kit, Intake & Exhaust to Heads Kit, Distributor Kit, Timing Cover Kit, Water Pump Kit, Oil Pan Kit, Oil Filter / Pump Kit, Thermostat Kit or pretty much a master engine kit?
The only way you will ever get the Slant to work in a Maverick is to have VERY good fabricating skills (like Monster Garage) or you have VERY deep pockets. Reading thru the posts I'm deducing two things: 1. You are trying to save money 2. You have never done anything like this before. Based on those two things, the answer is no, you cannot make this work. The cheapest, easiest, minimal-skill-required route would be to swap the slant for any 200 cube Ford Six and install that instead. And a stock slant 225 will make around 100-125 horses, depending on induction and exhaust.
So a SMB would be a lot easier to install in a 70' Mav and would cost less to install it, since i have no prior expirence trying to do this sort of thing, this is acually my first car. But anyways would i have to make any other modifications such as installing another exhaust pipe for the v8?
