    Just sayin' hi.

    i recently picked up a 1974 ford maverick grabber, has the 302 v8 and, orange with white "grabber" decals. its just about mint, has 21k original miles on the clock. no pics yet, but will get some.

    i picked up a 351w bored .040 that needs assembling and installed, so i'll have some questions about making that thing fit but i'll be doing more reading than posting for at least a little while.

    ultimate goal is a built but still streetable 351 with reinforced c4 trans and a 9'' rear end. would really like to put a bds blower on it, we'll see how that goes...

    Welcome to the board. There is plenty of experience around here with 351W installs. Can't wait to see the pictures. (y)
