Newbe and Project Maverick

racerdale · 12-09-2007, 11:35 PM

Hey,
I have started project Maverick. The frame connectors are cut and ready to weld in. These took some time to design and fab but they look good. Discovered that part of floor pans need replaced two 24" x 24 " sections., otherwise a solid car. Now I have some questions. Crankshafts: I did not see any parts listings for aftermarket crank shafts. Rule says cast OEM. Any help here would be great. Pistons and rods. How much do you think I can gain with floating pins vs pressed pins. Valve springs, Only can have a
.3 something lift what spring pressures do you guys recommend. Lifters. What is a good source/ namebrand for the Hydraulic lifter for a 302 . Hey thanks in advance for all your input. This is a real lot of work to go slow but I am having fun with it, so is my brother he is getting a kick out of fabing and welding the frame stuff. Just a note I had to replace my chop saw so I purchased a dry cut metal bladed unit built by Porter, It has made the frame work a lot easier.
Thanks
Dale
