What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

thinking about going with comp's drag cam the 305H....looks to be pretty nice for a 302. picked up manual steering/inner and outer tie rods from powder coater...LOOK AMAZING, went with cast color. also started moving my msd box to the area infront of battery, but behind grill. way less heat over there. engine bay is getting cluttered and need to clean it up a bit.

 

recently bought a two post lift and a large workbench... set it all up this weekend. the econoline in the rear corner wil be the next project i tackle... when i finally find the time for it!

 

I know the Econoline is not Maverick related but when you begin the work PLEASE send us pictures anyway

 

sure thing
you can find some pictures on here: http://www.falconvan.de/
the nose panel was my main concern, but i found a NOS piece on ebay!
it's not going to be hotrodded in any way - it will keep the 6 cylinder, but i'm going to use the 300ci block instead of the 240. i already have the elusive 1v edelbrock intake for that motor, and was lucky on ebay for a nice set of headers...

 

At least with the Econoline that 300 will be a bolt in swap uinlike trying to shoehorn it into a Maverick.

 

Took the t5 out a couple times. Such a pain getting it on with out the clutch fork coming off. Pulled it out to inspect the flywheel then put it back in. I found it odd the clutch pedal would go all the way down and gay down. Pulled the trans out and again and the throw out bearing managed to slip off the fork the previous time I installed it. Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the rear suspension. To coil over or not.

 

What radiator did u replace? I thought u had a Champ in the car when it was Ford powered? I guess the hoses in different config?
Using a crossflow now??

 

Great setup man! I shud'nt have looked, now I am overwhelmed with envy. Congrats on the lift. I know those who are fortunate enough to have one are far more inclined to work under their vechicles...

 

Washed/cleaned the Mavericks (and other Fords), added Sta-Bil, and put them away for the winter.

 

Dude that is sweet as Hell!!!

 

Too bad you don't live a little West of the Rockies................you wouldn't have to put them away for the winter........and you could drive them year round.

 

If I lived where it was warm I could play with all my toys. Mi weather sucks

 

this is I think my 4th one...it was a 3 row. this one I had them put in a port for the steam tubes next to the top hose neck. this is a Mav/Comet radiator, also this 2 row is a first to fit a Mav/Comet...

 

Tody, very nice shop................lets see, looks kind of like an Audi TT under the Blue cover, Falcon convert behind it...........can't tell what's under the black cover, 61/67 Econoline, then a 65/66 Mustang...........do I win anything for guessing correctly...........

 

falcon convertible is correct, that's a 64 model which belongs to a friend.
the red mustang is a 67, again belonging to a friend of mine. it's a t5 export model, which makes it kind of special.
the econoline is a 67 model, as a falcon club wagon window van.
the black cover hides a 65 mustang convertible, it's a 6 cylinder and the reason i got into mavericks, as i was looking for the 4lug 8 inch rearend. it also sports the infamous 2v oz head...
both latter cars are actually mine.

the blue cover hides a Daihatsu Copen - i'm not sure whether you ever got this model in the US. much smaller than a TT, and it's actually my mom's summer car!
