    Missing my old '70 Maverick
    I'd have to trailer it
    and survive off of
    plaque for another
    6 months to make it! :D

    Also, I just bought a new
    Holley Systemax II upper
    and lower intake, professionally
    ported - 665 pesos! :eek:
    (thus the plaque diet).
    It's supposed to optimize
    the solid lifters set-up.
    :hope: :hope: :hope:

    Great mph, btw.
    And yes, I'd say to look
    for a couple of tenths at
    least
    from the new gears!
    Jeez! It's gonna scream!

    Good luck,

    Rick

    If you want, at the round-up you can use my slicks to make a pass and see how it helps!

    They should fit with no problem. I had them on my 75' and it was a little close to the fender well, but it did clear and your Sprint sits alot higher than the 75' does.
