    awesome

    That's an awesome powerplant Tom. I have a friend here locally that owns a 69 Boss 429 Mustang so I know just how monstrous those things are. I hope you keep us posted on how everything goes as I want to forward the photos to my frind with the Stang. I too own a Boss Mustang but mine is a 70 Boss 302. I love the Bosses but I have to admit that Mavericks are my first love having four 71 Grabbers right now. I'm very envious of you if you get that beast in the Maverick and get it all working okay. Good luck...oh yeah, that's a great looking Maverick too.

    Wow! Thats cool! My dad had a 69 Boss 429 Mustang, and that thing screamed! I bet stuffing that engine into a little Maverick would be insane!!

    One of a kind!!

    The only other Maverick I've seen that even comes close to that was in a fast fords and mustang mag. It had a 427 cammer in it.
    Good luck with the shoehorn!!

    I remember back in the '70s when Gapp and Rousch had a 4dr Mav pro stocker with a Boss 429. Scourge of the strip. Gave them all a bad time. Ought to be a sight to see. Good luck!
