    Hey everyone just wanted to come in and give a shout. I currently own a 72 mav with a non grabber optioned 302 and an original C-4...

    Now it has a 350 HP 306, Lentech AOD, built 8 inch diff etc...

    I am getting ready to re-build her again now that I have more money and time and skill and resources at my disposal. It has been about 7 or 8 years since the motor was pulled out last. She is falling into a state of neglect and it makes me sad. This is my first car in high school, it was a father / son project build and is my mom's first new car in '72.

    We are going to shoot for a pro touring theme with new car suspension and brakes, a low compression 347 stroker with a Vortech supercharger pushing a ridiculous amount of boost on a roller 5.0 based motor with fuel injection. We will be keeping the Lentech and pulling the diff in favor of a 9" or 8.8". We are aiming to graft on the entire front K member of a fox body or at least build a similiar suspension setup. For the rear we are looking to do a triangulated 4 link with coilovers.

    Looking forward to posting and reading what everyone has to say. I will also be posting pics throughout the build (mostly to help me remember what it looked like :p ). In the process of pulling the parts together now and begginning disassembly.

    Talk to ya soon!

    Found an okay pic of the car at my folks house... I used to be very active in the San Diego Municple Roadway Racing association, we met every saturday night at the Super Shops, Burger King, or Longs drug parking lots :) That was back in 97-03 or 04... I also spent 4 years in LA in the Thousand Oaks area, people seem to remember the car so if you do give a shout and say hi!

    Sounds like a very cool concept you've got. I'll definitely be watching for pictures. I'm building a 72 Mav roadracer with a more vintage take on the hardware.
