Boy this ford addiction is getting serious.what will fit off a 71 cougar onto a '70 maverick?will the 351 cleveland motor fit?what about the front hubs?i just bought this and won a texas f-150 4wd on ebay for 102.50.
The visor retainer clips might swap out .... with some modifications. Links, man! Give us ebay LINKS!
Are you parting out the Cougar? What kind of shape is it in? The disc brakes should swap to your Maverick.
the cougars pretty rusty good drivers fender grill is so so. it has drum brakes but they are 5 lug so i am going to put them on the maverick.i am keeping the rear i think its posi but not sure the door says 6 for axle whatever that means.interior is beat i may list what is left on ebay.i will let everyone know it can't sit here long the junk car gods are about.
thanks for the info are the fmx trannies any good i also have a c-4 i can use from a 302.i hate to waste a good 351c.
Without shock tower and other mods?? One thing I've read on here severtal times, is a Windsor won't fit well without modifcations..... ....and a Cleveland is a bit bigger than a Windsor
Not many people run the FMX for performance applications. Although I am told it's design is the basis for the AOD. Interesting though in 71 you could get a M or Q code engine which would be a 351-4v and then you would have got a C6. But they only produced 6,858 M code automatics all models and 1 Q code automatic car in 71. Your car if not an XR7 is one of 25,043 standard hardtops built in 71. I have a 73 XR7 Hardtop Q code automatic project car. which is 1 of 2,225.
I already have one shock tower partialy cut as i was going to put an fe in this but then i found a good 302.then this old cougar came around for 200.00 so i says what the heck.i will have 1043 inches of ford power in my dispoda fit pile!!!
Well i have a standard model i was thinking about fixing the old girl up but it is way too rusty in the front so i will pull the good parts and scrap the rest.I am negotiating with the guy on a 351c-4v also,its in parts but he is a real ford fanatic so he kept everything lubed up..
