    1972 Maverick 2 door.Original V-8 3 spd std shift.Also a 72 one owner Sprint sporting a 351 Windsor
    Unknown condition..."Runs" does it run well? does it smoke/ make noise??? Rear main seal leaks...Time for main bearings. Plus what it takes to make a 351 work in a mav...Find a 302 roller for the same $$ and he will be ahead of the game.

    I've told him to stay away from it he told me today that the guy told him it smokes a little bit because its cold and it doesn't run as much as it should and he said that the transmission is leaking from the rear seal and the pan so there's no telling what else is wrong with it but he's not going to listen to anyone I don't think

    The ad says 351W and it also says (cleveland). Which is it?

    see I know I've had some bad decisions on my part for my maverick so I'm just trying to steer him in the right direction and told him that I had a free 302 but I would give him
