    I'm buying a Maverick today for $400. It's in great shape and I can't wait to dig into it. I'll be going through the engine. New heads, cam, intake, carb etc. I'll be adding a junkyard turbo build with Holset HX35.

    Welcome, turbo's are very nice add on's for power. I think all new cars should have one on them too. Mavman did the exact conversion on his 74, a, from scratch build, headers, duct work, everything that was needed. Had a few failures at first, but it was a screamer for 302ci and c4. Maybe he will post some info on what he used etc. Great to see you doing this for all to follow and drool over.
