i have been looking through the forum for quite some time now (great forum btw) and finally decided to join. i can thank my dad for getting me interested in mavs...he has had 4 of them through the years...all of them were sceamers (of course, what maverick isn't?). anyway, he bought a 72 for me on my 16th bday...that was 10 yrs ago and i still haven't done much to it. amazing how time flies while your in school and working. my plan is simple...transplant a 429...okay, not simple, but very ambitous. i have seen a few posts on the subject...obviously not the easiest swap to do, however, i am ready for the challenge (a little extra help from dad never hurts). sorry for the life story, but i had to tell everyone cause i am a little excited!!!
Chad welcome to the board ..that 429 will be a beast to put in but man what a monster after you finish it...I say rock on and go for it...Jim
I have personally seen a 429 in one of these cars and rode in it too!!! What a blast. I have plans to do the same. Welcome to the board. Dan
