    Hello, I just joined the forum, my buddy has a '72 Yellow maverick 4dr with a 302 automatic. Well last winter we pulled the tranny and had it rebuilt. Now just last night we pulled the motor, left the tranny in place, and planning on doing a few things to the motor to build some power. Right now it is a 2bbl, so one plan is to change it to a 4bbl. I would like to talk him into some headers, but so far I'm scared of finding some that will fit? Any suggestions? Well thanks guys.

    Thanks everyone! I'm used to forums, I've been on a Festiva one since '08 haha.
    Hey I'll be going to Ridgewater in Willmar next fall! I've tried searching a little, but I'll try some more lol.

    What are you taking up at Ridgewater? My youngest son is doing PSEO there next year to get his AA degree.
    There is a brown Comet 4 door running around Willmar right now but I have not seen him on the forum yet.
