72 Maverick
I was wondering if anyone here is running a Ford maverick in NHRA Stock eliminator ?
I have a mustang bracket car but was thinking about building my 72 Maverick into a Stock Class Racer. |

Re: 72 Maverick
I had a V/SA Maverick until a couple years ago; roller is for sale in the classifieds here. There are no Maverick stockers active in NHRA competition that I'm aware of.....there are 2 Comets; northwest racer Brian Seaberg from Washington with a 302 combo(Q/SA), and Jack Larsen's V/S in Illinois. The 302 isn't the best choice if you want to go very far under the index. Great Crate Motor potential in IHRA.

Re: 72 Maverick
Make that 2 comets in Div6, Jason Biscay had one also. I'm not sure who owns it now but it has been out the year. Neither of them run very far below the index

Re: 72 Maverick
Bad part is 2 bbl only.
never understood why they did not make a 4 bbl performance model. I have owned 7-8 comets and mavericks in my past and loved them

Re: 72 Maverick
Robbie is from Phoenix, so IHRA isn't a viable option..I'm sure he'd like to race at Firebird Nat's and Div's.
The 2 bbl 302 is okay here during the winter months anyway. I would suggest building it as a good 9" tire car, but then use a low rated EFI combo for Super Stock, where you can use a transbrake. There is a nice one in Div 1 done similarly. Robbie, call or write if you want 602-769-0346 markyac@cox.net

Re: 72 Maverick
