I'm a Chevy guy but anyone who still runs all motor is a real racer. No power adders way to go. Real racing
Hi I love real man's running all power Yong generation racer know way thay can build all 900 hp natural power love go to this track see these guys running
Do anyone have track we're this guy runs ? Nice car
What most bigger aloud
Love NA all motor, no crutches, no excuses.
Love those Mavericks and high rpm small block Ford engines I've got two of these Mavericks cars 🚗
He's a lucky man....bad ass car,attractive wife,177 mph at the finish line.Evan your videos are the best.Thank you
I'm sure A LOT of hard work was involved as well.
Smallblock Ford engine, check, Old School Maverick, check, Ford-powered Fords great video! Keep 'em coming.
Agreed 💯
Why slow Ford down by put a Chevy engine doesn’t make sense
@@CoyoteFTW Well Chevys got to go fast somehow might as well put it in a Ford!!
The only thing about chevys are that they are about half the cost of building ford's stuff and they are found in all forms of junk
You can find chevies i
n the bottom of the river round these parts
My eldest daughter has a '71 Maverick Grabber that we built with a 5.8 HO crate engine, C6 transmission and a Ford 9" Detroit Locker 4:30 rear gears. The car does low 11's consistently.
That is awesome 🤟🤟🤟
what's her phone #? we could have a maverick date
Cool
Junk that C6 and get a built C4 and you will pick up a half second. A C6 drains 60 horsepower from your engine. A good C4 will hold up fine and get you in the 10s. I believe it was TCI that made a C4 with a lifetime warranty and 1000hp capability.
@@Axeman428 Oh hell no. It's her car and other than the engine, it was built with components that we already had. Primarily, it's a street driven car and not built just for drag racing. On the street, it has a 3:50 gears with a Detroit Locker posi unit and Goodyear GT radial tires. I'm a master level factory certified auto/truck tech that worked for Ford for 40 years. I've been drag racing since the mid 60's and I damn sure know how to build a C6 transmission for best performance. My former NHRA gasser 1957 Ford Custom 2 doors sedan does mid 9's. I set 3 NHRA records with that car and won 3 NHRA class championships with it also. My 1969 Boss 302 Mustang won 2 NHRA Pure Stock class championships. I bought that car new at Tasca Ford in RI One of my former NHRA AA/FC cars is at Don Garlits Museum in Ocala FL. I/we did well with that car also. I do know a lot about drag racing. Likely, far more than you.
As a Mopar guy from late 60’s early 70’s I can appreciate Muscle cars from that era as the best looking race cars. This Maverick has to be the most attention to detail beautiful Maverick I’ve seen it’s a real work of art plus it’s got 5 speed! It runs straight and hard, what a great car! Two really great things about it is that it has a naturally aspirated small block that’s a FORD and not a Chevy under the hood. If someone wants to race a Chevy then put it in a Chevy.
What i always say to chevy boys 👦
I'm a Chevy guy, and I agree. If I was to suddenly end up with a Ford, I'd be stroking a 351 and getting me some nasty heads. Unless, of course, I found me a 460 block.
One must realize just how truly impressive this car is. 388 cubic inches. 1050 horsepower. Ran a 7.89 at 177 mph. All motor. Irrespective of the brand, you have to respect those numbers. You just don't see that very often nowadays. Great Maverick brother
I'm a die hard Ford FE guy. It's all I've known for 50 plus years. But I will concede that turning that small block over 10,000 RPM lights my FORD fire. Great work with your SB Maverick. Truly impressive !
I think that the Ford Maverick is one of the best looking US cars of the 70's.
The maverick almost has Camaro lines, Ford guy though, before I knew any better , almost bought a 68 327 Camero vinyl top auto
I like those types of cars too... Vegas as well
Now your talking my language. I still got my ‘70 going on 25 years of ownership. Thanks Evan for posting. Nice car reminds me of Don Bowles Maverick.
What a stand up guy showing us all that he put into this fantastic race car. Love it when he asks if Evan wants him to take the valve cover off.
Daaamn that's badass!!! My brother and I just built a '71 Maverick with a 351W. It's not gonna be on this power level though lol. It's been bored to a 363ci, 12:1 forged pistons, AFR 185cc small chamber heads, mildly radical cam, RPM Air Gap intake (mildly hand ported and port matched to the head), ford 9" rear end with reinforced spring perches, ladder bars, and a 3 speed toploader manual transmission. Should be putting down about 400hp to 450hp at the wheels. We built it as a fast fun tribute to our other brother who past away several years ago from a brain tumor. He had one of these cars as his first car back in the mid 90's, and it had a stock 302 and he took it to the local drag strip to race it. He loved these cars and never stopped talking about that car, and always wanted to build a fast one but never got around to it before he passed.
This is the most interesting car you've had on here. What an animal!
I know right
1980, I was a sophomore in high school. Bought my first car - a ‘70 Mav, 170-6 & 3 on the tree. Wish I still had it.
Nice! My buddy had a 70' Mav in 84' 6 banger. Man, we could pull off some serious no mercy reversies in that gutless thing!
Damn that’s one hell of an 8.2 deck engine, I was expecting a Cleveland combination, that much horsepower out of an 8.2 deck with less than 400 cubic inches is absolutely amazing, I dig it. 👍🏻
It’s insane really 388ci 1000hp ! small block Ford makes power
@@CoyoteFTW
With names like Chris Uratchko and Tony Bischoff building the engine you know it’s going to make big power regardless of brand.
@@shitbox82 that’s better power per cubic inch naturally aspirated than majority race engines
Say when racing outlaw 10.5 car is making 3631 hp with a 427 Windsor stock bore space 9.5" deck, heck the cam height is even windsor still.
@@CoyoteFTW
Damn right that’s big power with conventional 8.2 deck architecture.👍🏻
Think if you went to a 9.5 " deck!
I am biased because Craig is my brother. That was a good video.. I remember going out what I was a youngster going to cruise first Avenue with my brother Craig. He bought that car from an old friend of ours a Vietnam vet, Johnny Craft.
Thanks Evan, another great FORD powered Ford! It's just singing at high RPM! Always loved the Mavericks, they came out when I was in high school.
Love it. Maverick and blue
Craig is one cool dude. 1050 out of 388ci is absolutely insane!!!!!
Every aspect of that car is finely tuned....and the man builds his own headers to boot. A peek under the valve cover? What a classy sportsman.
Evan another first class act interview, my hat's off to this guy for showing us the ins and outs of this car and thank you for all the great questions you ask him, you always cover all the bases in your interviews, another great job 👍
Thanks Terry
There was a time that big block pro-stockers were just over 1000hp....
That's the truth 👍
I wonder why, exactly? Is modern metallurgy for valvesprings and the like just way better now? Is it the kind of computers and monitors engine builders have access to now?
In 82 I was a senior in high school and had a 72 Caprice Classic with a 402 4 Barrel. Cruise, climate control and 6 way bench seats. Great car. Set the cruise on 90mph and those bench seats were like sitting in the living room
BAD ASS MAVERICK, GUY DID GOOD WORK ON HIS CAR ..
All motor is the true way to know a real engine builders. Finding those lil tweeks that put them ahead of the rest of class.
The purity of a na stick car will always catch my eye.
What a way to run 7s!! My 69 Camaro runs 7.70s but that's with a 565" Dart Chevy with a 10/71 and dual 1050s. I took the easy way and as bad as that Camaro is, it can't hold a candle to this Maverick...
The kind of Ford that makes a Ford Guy Proud, iam glad I bleed ford blue👍🏻💯❤️💪🏻
As a Chevy guy, this is why I love my Ford fam too!
BES is about 10 miles from me. My Son helped him move into his then new shop. Anyone can make a Chevy run, but it takes bravado to run a 10200 rpm Ford. I also had a Maverick but it had the 170 engine. Congrats on having such a unique car!
That's one of the HOTTEST small block Fords ever!!! Awesome car.
I love how the Maverick is finally getting the respect it has always deserved. I hate what it has done to the current prices though! I've been looking for another one ever since I sold the 1972 Maverick Sprint I used to have. I never thought I would ever see Mavericks going for $10K, never mind the ones with $30K plus!
Can I like this video more than 1x? My quick head math says this engine is excceeding the physics of Nascar and f1 engines.
You can certainly share it and help us grow! Thanks for watching Jimmy!
Love it , I still have my high school car (1976) and it started life as 302 and 3 speed, 279 geared 8” rear. It is a super pro car now sporting a 514 “ motor, glide trans, and a pro stock style rear . It’s a 1972 Mercury Comet GT.
LOVE THE COMETS
I have Ford Mavericks in my blood. I absolutely fricking love this car and its history. Pure respect to the owner and his Family/Team ! Great video ! I've Been a Small block, C-4 spooled 4:11 "72 Maverick owner/ weekend bracket racer from about '99 to 2010 off and on. Still makes me ill having to have sold it all for hard times. I consider myself very fortunate to have done all my own work on it. Thank you for a very enjoyable 22:35 .... 🔧⚙🏁
Over an inch of intake lift and shifting at 10,200 rpms.. imagine the stress on the valve train... impressive
A 388 small block making 1,050 hp N/A how in the world.....I just can't believe that...holy cow!!!!
And it's a sbf NOT an ls which I think is absolutely hilarious and kind of ironic with all the dumbass ls swapped mustangs
@@midnight347its the cost sometimes dipstick…😂🐥🤣
That maverick moves! Sounds so nice! Gotta love FoMoCo.
What a class act this guy is! To take the time to explain his car is awesome whereas many racers aren't going to give someone the time of day.
And he rocks that shifter just like someone in Pro Stock. Definitely a class act.
Reminds me so much of my 70 Maverick the same color even that started life in North Carolina with a straight six and three on the tree to. Put a Boss 302 crate engine and top loader four speed manual. A swap to five lug on all four corners with V8 mustang front suspension and springs and disc brakes with nine inch 4.11 gear with heavy duty springs and drag shocks all four wheels. Had 15" Cragar SS wheels front and rear, N50 mickies on the rear. Street raced back in the day. Canted valve small block humbled a few big blocks, Chevelle and Charger back in the day. Engine was bone stock out the crate and Rousch headers and remote oil filter setup.
1.090" lift@ the valve. That combined with all the compression, that's the best sound ever. Very nice and thank you for the great video.
Dude scored with the car and the woman!
To cool that it's his high school car.
True sign of a car guy.
got to be one of the baddest Mavericks out there! Super cool! thanks Evan!
That's one badass Maverick!
As a sophomore in HS, I'm reminded of the 1969 Ford Drag Team Mavericks. Most particularly, was Ed Terry's Silver Bullet Maverick that he raced on the west coast.. and at Fremont drags throughout the late 60's and early 70's.
Stu ning. What a piece of art.
Just over an inch of lift on the intake, in a small block? That is awesome
This is a bad ass car! Idk WHY guys swap Chevy engines into Fords when there’s really no need.
I maintain that Fords in general are just better looking cars and the Chevy guys know it but won’t admit it. They’re always blathering about ‘Chevs are cheaper to build’. Yes, they are. Cheaper.
My son had a 351 Windsor stroker 383 and rev up to 8 rpm 900 hp small block Ford are awesome
Keep bringing it Evan. All of these awesome Ford Hot-Rods. This is another really trick car...High Fives to all involved.
Thanks for another thrill-ride Evan. What a beautiful Hot Rod
Bob Glidden rest his soul is up there shaking his head
WOW LOW DECK AT 388 CI unbelieveable na power the best all FORD IT DOESNT GET ANY BETTER nice to see its not a coyote or ls unreal cam lift loving it more of this any time thanks EVAN
Great car! Great history. Hitting all five gears before the quarter mile mark comes up is pure awesome.
What an awesome car and a really great guy!!! 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
Love your top of the line videos Evan! Always great cars & info on them & the owners! I'll never forget the day that dad came home, with a new '72 Comet. It was a pretty light blue w/ a black hood scoop, bucket seats,302 & automatic on the floor. Keep up the great work, you do the Fords & Mercury's proud!
Mike, thanks for watching!
I love watching these naturally aspirated geniuses work!! Sweet!!
Every number he mentioned in this video just blows my mind and it’s just a small block in a little maverick but with huge numbers
What a car! Obviously that dude has it going on! Over an inch lift on both valves? Wow!
I have a 78 bigblock….
Just loved this Maverick!!!! Awesome car!!!
Revan always has the best cars and the coolest people.
Beautiful car!
Really enjoy seeing the people and getting to know them. Great that his wife helps.. what a team!
Thanks Evan.
Thanks Jack
Brilliant ,love that car ,what a gentleman.
Nothing like waching & listening to a high reving sb ford shifted through a liberty 5-speed kicking ass & taking names in the most humble kind of way 👍👊
Oh I love that distributor design that is such a cool idea that solves so many problems for guys who still love the distributor and blowers
Great job with the interview Evan, good stuff and always fun to hear you asking the right questions to "bring the story out" of your subject. Thanks for including that in-car video... no cheezy music or voice over... just pure Ford small block high-RPM music! Very cool!
I knew a guy in the 80s that had a 60 Falcon with a stroked 289. It had a straight shot tunnel ram. I think it ran high 11s. He ran it at 9 grand but I think he said he could go to 10 or 11 if he wanted to. If he’s from Cedar Rapids I’ve probably seen this guy, same stomping grounds.
Great episode Evan! I love the fact that this is his high school car and he's done a lot of the work on it. Built, not bought.
My first car was a brown white 74 Grabber 250cid back when it was the furthest thing from cool during high school in 1996. Regularly got called a "Pinto Plus" even though I loved it and kept it shiny.
Nicest Maverick I’ve ever seen. Great job with it.
That is an incredible amount of power from that combination. Unbelievable. Very likely current Pro-Stock technology implemented in a much smaller displacement
Thats very impressive making 1,050 Horsepower on a 8.2 deck and only 388 cubic inches...and running 7.80s at over 177 mph N/A all while turning 10,200 rpm...who said small block fords want turn some serious rpms and make some serious Horsepower!
Since the first time I watched your show Evan , I've never been disappointed . 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Jeff, I know you are a loyal viewer and I appreciate it.
Crazy to think it started out as three on the tree six banger.....
Great story.
Im a Ford guy so this is nice too see!!
Best episode yet! Maverick 💯
Wow. Awesome car. Respect for an NA going that quick! I'm at 5000' altitude and I'm NA, too. It's a struggle because everyone else is boosted.
Absolutely fantastic, my first car was a Maverick. Brings back good memories. Also thank for NOT putting an LS in it.
Man that's a badass Maverick with some cool history to it! The man was gracious about showing his car and the specifications.
I think that’s one of the baddest Mavericks I’ve ever seen. Seems like a tough class. Awesome
I've never owned a Ford and probably never will, but I'm very impressed...Great video and great shifting...Save the stick!!!
Who cares what you own, this video is not about you.
Absolutely amazing car and racer! I can't get enough of these Ford small blocks! Thanks for explaining so much of the car and set up with us. Even a peek under the valve cover. So cool!
❤😮😊 he did a damn good welding job. Keep up the good work and that’s one sweet Maverick. I like that a lot.
Super clean build, badass small block, cool driver giving all the info, great interview guys.
I`m a Mopar guy but in 1996 for a mere sum of $200 simply couldn`t resist 'grabbing' a great running 1972 Maverick 2 dr/ht with 302 auto. Then I found a non-running sister-car`73 Comet GT also for $200.
incredible numbers. that car looks so well sorted out
What a clean, neat, stunning Maverick. Love the video and the interview. The owner was super nice as well. You got a new sub.
If I weren’t a mustang man I’d definitely be a maverick man what’s not to love here?
Thanks Evan! Craig, congrats! Thanks for the tour!
Great video as always Evan,love the breakdown,super clean clean car 10000 plus rpm is a beautiful thing
Very, very, GOOD !!!!! One of the best ones yet !!!!!!!!
Love the small blocks. Ford, Chevy, Mopar. Awesome Maverick and a very cool video.
Love Mavericks.
Cool/fast MAV and story.
I own an early 1970/69.5 myself. Which just so happens to have the same engine 200 6cyl and 3speed manual transmission his Maverick orginally had. The shifter was moved to the floor.
I have a new front and rear suspensions for the car.
The engine & trans will also be upgraded. My Maverick will be designed for handling.
My first car was a 74 Maverick my Dad bought me in the early 90's I started customizing and had it till 2008. Unfortunately had financial issues and had to sell it. That sucked letting it go, and why I bought another as soon as I could.
Hey Evan...I cut my comments short prior to the end of the video...shame on me. I also want to say with all sincerity that these people you do videos on are top notch respectable individuals to share their cars and passion for racing. The details shared are priceless. Thanks again for another great video.
You’re welcome
Love your Maverick awesome little SB Ford. I have a 62 Falcon SB Ford all motor. 750 hp with a 306. Tunnel Ram Holley carbs. 4 speed manual Center Force clutch.
Only mine is street legal and runs at the track, too. Not fast as the Maverick but
Little Fords are lots of fun.
The epitome of a badass ride. 😎
Great video awesome car Ford powered forever baby keep on pulling the knot out of them boties and the horns off them mopars l love it
Valve train looks like 401 ...65 buick wildcat valve train ..love this car 😮😮❤❤❤❤❤
Also wanted to say that this car is amazing 😱
Thanks
Beautiful car! I'm super impressed with it running so well with that small cubic inch. Very well done!
Wow, those engine specs are insane! Such a great build.
Great Video!! Sweet Maverick!! Had 2 myself and a Comet GT. Thanks for sharing your car with us!!!
