Engine back and ready to go in

Just a thought!

Hey MaverickGrabber, have you thought about saying hi to the 10,s! nothing like being in the 10's (1/4 mile) to make a man proud of his Maverick or Comet. Good luck and enjoy the ride.
I bet it's going to take a big pry bar to get the smile off your face after the ride.
I like your combo, sounds like you did your homework!

Lookin good! I bet it's going to sound sooo SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!
Good luck with the break in, and if the cam is a flat tappet make sure you run the motor for a good 20 to 30 minutes at 2500 rpm's or better. I do mine with the inner springs out.

Gawd,

.... I'm in lust....... Mine ain't as purdy, but when I rigged it a coupla days ago, it roared nicely............


But dammit, I wish I could make it look that bad-ass.................

 

Thanks all ! yeah its a hyd roller 6800 rpm red line shift at 6500 should be at the end of the 1/4 at 6745 rpm with 26" tall E/t streets 380 gear c4 trans using one of the drag2000 program. Making sure that all the components match up is the hard part. can’t go by what the company’s say .I built it Manley for the street to start with don’t have a roll cage in it yet don’t really want to put one in the frame is tide good the torque box’s have been beefed up and the frame. still running the 8” rear ill prob be looking at that new center can’t remember who makes it all aluminum and strong as a 9” have to wait and see
