WE TRIED EVERYTHING!! COMPLETELY STUCK ENGINE.

After dragging this 73 Maverick Grabber out of the woods of Tennessee and cleaning it up it is finally time to see if this 250 inline six is going to be a runner or not. Watch as we tear down this engine that is the worst we have ever taken apart.

In my opinion, building up that 250 and making the Maverick a solid bracket car would be a great way to introduce Wawa to working on and racing her own car. It's not always about how fast you can go. Just watched to the end. That thing is junk, but I still think you should put in a 6, even if you just get another one.

My father had me rebuild his 200i6 in his 76 Mavrick Stallion. I was 15, and he walked me through every step. IMO the best engine to learn on, its a forgiving cast engine. A perfect opportunity to show the kids some real pride in doing the work themselves.

My friend built a Maverick Grabber with a hopped up 302 he raced constanly at the Tulsa International Dracestrip(?). It was a great car, made me appreciate the strength of a well-built 302. At this point, your kids have the ability to pull a motor if you told them to. Also, the knowledge each has and have little or no issues working together. I would trust them to work on my car. Love the Maverick, and love the video!

[@jtyler8525]

Being a retired mechanic what I observed while watching this video is the car has been sugared. Sugar will cause a gasoline engine to lock up especially if it has been run a long time and gotten up to temperature. The melted sugar coats everything it contacts with a sticky goo that when gets cold locks everything together like a weld would. My advice would be to toss the engine in the scrap pile along with the gas tank (there may be more sugar in the tank yet) and build what ever engine your heart desires and install it into the Grabber with a strong transmission and a 35 spline 9 inch rear end. Good luck and enjoy your family while you can!

[@Sleeperdude]

You might be right!!

[@thomaslord7995]

I once owned a car with that much sludge in a running engine. I bought it dirt cheap as a work car because I liked the model, even though it smoked like an old go cart. After I had driven it a few thousand miles, I decided to change the valve cover gaskets. That's when I discovered the caked up mess of sludge. It took me an entire afternoon to thoroughly clean the rockers etc. I had to wait until the next weekend to do the other side of the V6. The oil drain back holes had been completely plugged so the oil would well up and overflow into the pushrod valley. Also being force fed into the intake valve guides. After I completely cleaned both banks, no more smoking.

[@SuburbanK2500]

I think it would be great content as well as just a great idea to have this car built into a drag/autocross/show car for Wawa. Resto mod rebuild, better brakes, suspension. Upgrade the interior, sporty race buckets, harnesses, possibly a cage. Build a bored and stroked NA inline 6, possibly turbo it down the road after she gains experience on the track and strip.

This was literally like a suspence, mystry, thriller. I wear a fitbit and could actually witness my heat rate going up and up with each new discovery - it's just now back under 100. As for what to do now, you could force feed a six to equal the power of a V8 but my bias would be to start with a N/A V8 that, if you wanted you build over time in bite size chunks simply so Wa could do it: carb, camsnaft etc. I'm being presumtuous but I think a lot of folks think it might make a good drag car for Wa but that's completely up to you guys. It would make a good series like the Galaxy wagon, V8 5 speed swap Falcon or the VW. Project series are very exciting to watch - you can hardly wait for the next episode

[@Sleeperdude]

[@lmoore5264]

My mom bought a 79 Ford LTD 2dr in 1985. The car was in really good shape inside and out. It had a 351 windsor in it with 56,000 original miles. When it got just over 60,000 miles it just all at once started smoking something terrible. I really thought it broke some rings or a piston except that the engine did not miss. I looked down the oil cap and the valve covers were filled up with oil. I pulled the valve covers off and the oil drain back holes were totally plugged up with sludge. I knew several people that used Quaker State oil. Quaker State and Penzoil motor oil had more paraffin in it or so I was told. I over the years have torn apart several Ford engines with excess sludge. I think Ford quality control may have dropped the ball. The engine developed blow by early on and the PCV valve used engine vacuum to draw fumes out of the crankcase which meant the engine was burning it's own blow by. So if you were lazy and didn't change the oil at regular intervals you would get a carboned-up sludge infested engine. I never tore down an engine as bad as your Maverick. That engine is on another level for sludge. So loose or worn rings cause blowby and you don't see it because the intake vacuum sucks it in and burns it in the engine. You add paraffin in the oil and you don't change it that all equals sludge. I don't know how that engine would have ever ran with that much build up on the cylinder walls. It couldn't have. Maybe they were running straight drip gas in it from oil wells. There used to be lots of that going on back in the hills here in W.Va when gas prices skyrocketed.

A friend of mine had a late 70s Ford LTD (the big boats). V8 either a 302 or a 351 Windsor - regardless, it was given to his girlfriend because she needed a car. Had a hard time idling and when he checked the oil, this is where the surprises started. Hadn’t had an oil change in a very long time, we’re talking 10+ years and tens of thousands of miles (+ 25K). Pennzoil was the last oil used and would get topped off every now and then. When my friend pulled the valve covers off, it blew our minds that this car ran at all!! The entire inside of the valve covers were 100% oil mud like what you are seeing in this car. It was an absolute mind blowing thing to see🤯🤯🤯 It ran all the way up to when they attempted to flush the motor to get the mud out…. It seized and shot a rod out the side of the block. Free cars are not always the greatest thing 😒 but this video reminded me of that LTD.

Lol we tried sugar and all kinds of things in vehicles when i worked at a wrecker service, there is nothing that can go in the gas tank that will make it past the strainer in the tank, filter in the carb and still run good enough to do any damage to the engine…..worst thing we found was good ole Whole milk, it will plug the sock, pump, lines, injectors and regulator in less than 20 miles😂
