    Sweet car. Kind of a shame to take such a nice car and alter it so drastically. Your car, your money, though. Good luck with it.

    Yes and No.

    There are still lots of nice mavericks out there for benchmarks.
    I will take the dog dish caps, 8", front spindles, 5 lug components and swap to the 70.

    Put the I6 in the 75 which will make someone a nice little 4 door.

    Thanks for the comments All.

    Ehh, there are quite a few nice original '69.5's and '70's out there from what I have seen. Stock 6 cylinder '70 = boring.

    As I said, it is your car. Do to it what makes you happy. I currently have my Sprint up on all 4's and am swapping out the 250 to a 302. I will later add buckets. However, it is no where near as cherry as this car, so I don't feel bad about altering it to suit myself. If it was as nice as this one, I would have to think about it for awhile. You have a very nice car here.

    He asked for my opinion, not my approval. That is what I gave.
