    whats up frank what is cowl, do you have any pics, what are signs of a bad cowl, maybe rust he told me it was a 73 but I do not know, if it is a 76 or 77 will my engine still fit and will I still be able to do a bumper swap, what would I need if so would I need my fenders off of my car or could I use the fenders that are on the car sorry for the confussion, long day

    I have no idea what you were trying to say, but the engine will swap into any '70-'77 Maverick.
