    What`s the best method for installing a 460 into a Maverick Chassis. Is it necessary to go with a Mustang 2 front end set up or can the Stock shock towers be modified ?? Headers , Motor Mounts , Trans., Etc. I know there is someone out there who has been there done that . Looking to shorten the learning curve.

    If it looks like more than I want to tackle - might have a complete new rebuilt 1971 460 available . Thanks (y)

    You Will Need To Go To M2 Set Up I Have 460 In Maverick Custom Built All Mounts And Headers Can Be Alot Of Help. But I Will Tell You This, If Your Looking For Easy This Is Not It.

    After looking at some other application options - I think we will try to put this Big Guy in a 1961 Starliner - Plenty of room for everything without making lots of changes, and it will help to have the xtra cubes and torque to pull this heavy sled around.

    I do believe the Maverick 460 install is more than I want on my plate - I`ll stick with the small block setup there. Thanks for the comments.
