One must realize just how truly impressive this car is. 388 cubic inches. 1050 horsepower. Ran a 7.89 at 177 mph. All motor. Irrespective of the brand, you have to respect those numbers. You just don't see that very often nowadays. Great Maverick brother I'm a die hard Ford FE guy. It's all I've known for 50 plus years. But I will concede that turning that small block over 10,000 RPM lights my FORD fire. Great work with your SB Maverick. Truly impressive !

Junk that C6 and get a built C4 and you will pick up a half second. A C6 drains 60 horsepower from your engine. A good C4 will hold up fine and get you in the 10s. I believe it was TCI that made a C4 with a lifetime warranty and 1000hp capability.

@@Axeman428 Oh hell no. It's her car and other than the engine, it was built with components that we already had. Primarily, it's a street driven car and not built just for drag racing. On the street, it has a 3:50 gears with a Detroit Locker posi unit and Goodyear GT radial tires. I'm a master level factory certified auto/truck tech that worked for Ford for 40 years. I've been drag racing since the mid 60's and I damn sure know how to build a C6 transmission for best performance. My former NHRA gasser 1957 Ford Custom 2 doors sedan does mid 9's. I set 3 NHRA records with that car and won 3 NHRA class championships with it also. My 1969 Boss 302 Mustang won 2 NHRA Pure Stock class championships. I bought that car new at Tasca Ford in RI One of my former NHRA AA/FC cars is at Don Garlits Museum in Ocala FL. I/we did well with that car also. I do know a lot about drag racing. Likely, far more than you.

As a Mopar guy from late 60’s early 70’s I can appreciate Muscle cars from that era as the best looking race cars. This Maverick has to be the most attention to detail beautiful Maverick I’ve seen it’s a real work of art plus it’s got 5 speed! It runs straight and hard, what a great car! Two really great things about it is that it has a naturally aspirated small block that’s a FORD and not a Chevy under the hood. If someone wants to race a Chevy then put it in a Chevy.

Daaamn that's badass!!! My brother and I just built a '71 Maverick with a 351W. It's not gonna be on this power level though lol. It's been bored to a 363ci, 12:1 forged pistons, AFR 185cc small chamber heads, mildly radical cam, RPM Air Gap intake (mildly hand ported and port matched to the head), ford 9" rear end with reinforced spring perches, ladder bars, and a 3 speed toploader manual transmission. Should be putting down about 400hp to 450hp at the wheels. We built it as a fast fun tribute to our other brother who past away several years ago from a brain tumor. He had one of these cars as his first car back in the mid 90's, and it had a stock 302 and he took it to the local drag strip to race it. He loved these cars and never stopped talking about that car, and always wanted to build a fast one but never got around to it before he passed.

The shifter was moved to the floor. I have a new front and rear suspensions for the car. The engine & trans will also be upgraded. My Maverick will be designed for handling. My first car was a 74 Maverick my Dad bought me in the early 90's I started customizing and had it till 2008. Unfortunately had financial issues and had to sell it. That sucked letting it go, and why I bought another as soon as I could.
