    This is really cool i didnt even think a 300 would fit. Does anyone know the weight difference between a 300 i6 and a 302?

    that is awesome! I had thought about putting a 300 in a maverick, but never thought about turbo.

    OK That is what was bouncing around in my head but then there was that little goofy guy in the back corner of my brain that was trying to tlel me that the track that he goes to has a car that you could rent for the day to race at their track.LOL

    Neat car!

    Braces - I ran mine for a couple days back in the 70s without the supports, felt like the front end was gonna fall off. Could be because mine is a 1970 with no belly bar or tower reinforcements and wasn't intended to hold a V8. But it sure made for a scary ride.

    Wow. Imagine if that thing had the Aluminum(sp?) Head on there? That thing would be even more godlike.
