I would have stopped at 1 coil. Usually, 3/4 to 1 full coil does the trick, unless you have some extra stiff springs.
Wow. Looks like a lot of work, but the end result looks great. Comet GTs should have had spoilers from the factory anyway.
You don't need a 3-row unless you really want one. The 2-row Champion aluminum radiator cools every bit as good as the stock 3-row. If you are...
You do not need to notch the crossmember or anything else. The Champion radiator sits in the Maverick/Comet a half-inch too low, so what you need...
When you say "front crossmember", are you talking about the belly bar? Or the strut rod crossmember?
Why doesn't GA issue Titles for older cars? A Bill of Sale is not the same thing as a Title.
The LS-1 is just a great motor. You shouldn't do that with a rare, collectible, factory muscle car, but I think the Maverick/Comet is fair game...
Power is nice to have though (if your cam allows the engine to produce enough vacuum), and if you have 4-wheel disc brakes, the pedal effort will...
It stands for gaudy, or "pimped-out".
Never heard of an '80s 302 that made 400hp. I have to assume that it was rebuilt with some serious performance parts.
Cool. :thumbs2:
My comment was not directed toward you personally, and was not meant to be derogatory. I just saw the whole thing starting to snow-ball and moving...
Again, too much cam for a low compression motor with an auto trans, stock converter, and tall gears. Why not follow the first two suggestions in...
Or...he could stick to his original idea and put a mild performance cam in his stock 302. (yes, I totally get your comment) People are advising...
A 225 will work fine with the backspacing I mentioned.
Yeah.
A 245 up front is gonna rub without modifications.
It's for any diameter wheel. I have found that with a 7-inch wide rim, 4" to 4-1/4" backspace works very well on the Maverick. You can run a...
That's way too much cam for a stock 302. And with a lift that high, I'd be concerned about piston-to-valve clearance. The previous two cam...
A good "RV" cam with a high lift and short duration is what you need for that. Too much duration with low compression (8:1 in a stock motor) will...
Separate names with a comma.
