    Hello from snowy Utah !
    My name is Sean. I purchased my Ford Maverick when I turned 16. I still have my Maverick. It is a 1972 Maverick it was an original 200 cid straight 6 car. I am currently in the process or restoring it. I am at a stand still trying to make a decision on which direction i want to go in the restoration. I am debating on putting a Mustang II front end in it to get rid of the shock towers. Leave the frotn and as it is and change it to a 5 lug w/ disc brakes. I do know i am putting a 9 inch rear end in it. Debating on the engine still, do i go fuel injected ? Possibly a mustang motor or a P37 police package motor out a Crown Vic ex patrol car? My new idea is maybe the EcoBoost motor ? Or build another 351W based motor like I had in it before. It used ot have a 351W with a stroker kit that punched out to a 427 small block.

    One thing I know I love this car ! I never let me down in my younger days. I love the body lines.
