    1970 maverick grabber
    Hi, I just started working on a 1970 maverick ex drag car. Body is in great shape I just finished pulling the 347 stroker motor out of it I want to turn it into hot street car and am in the process of building another 347 to put back in it that isnt quite as radical as the original motor. Its has a 4 speed toploader trans and a 9 inch rear axle with 457 gears. I've already swapped the drum front brakes over to discs and am changing the master cyl to match. I'm also thinking of changing the cluch set-up over to a cable style, which brings me to join this site. I would appreciate any input on this matter . thanks
    Jim
