    What do you think is the most helpful new Maverickgrabber.com article? Keep in mind, some of these articles are avaliable elsewhere.

    Well my manual tranny swap article already covers the T-5 basics.

    As far as EFI conversions, I'm not qualified to write an article about a swap I did not perform, and there are other sources for this info on the web. :)

    I'm with T.L. on this one, I like all of it.

    I'd be happy to write an EFI conversion article if you're interested. Over the past several years I've had numerous people call me or email me about this.

    Sam :)

    I don't know about the others, Sam, but I would love to see an EFI article if it's not too much work. (y)

    Ok Corbin, no problem. I've written a general outline but it looks like it's time to flesh it out before my memory is completely gone! :slap: When I get it done I'll make it available to all.

    An EFI would work for me too. Although I wont be putting one in a CoMav, I will be doing a 57 Ranchero.
