@@sorshiaemms5959 the only way they can make their chevy junk fast is by putting it IN a FORD!...there's plenty of fast FORDS out there and this Maverick is definitely one of them!!!..FTTMFF!!
I'm primarily a GM guy but it's refreshing to see something without an LS, they aren't god's gift to racing. I love seeing Ford powered Fords getting it done, and this is impressive.
@@superduty4556 No, they're not, if they were they'd be being used on a pro level and they're not. Any idiot can throw a cam, some springs and a turbo on an LS and think they're setting the world on fire. But when you're talking about real power(that doesn't grenade after 10 passes) you're getting into aftermarket blocks and high dollar parts so the cost is the same and so is the power level, so it's a wash. Regardless, the big block Chevy, and BBC based engines have always been and will always be king.
@@bobfalfa76 why are you talking about pro level? The fact that any asshole can throw a turbo on a junkyard truck engine and destroy most everyone at the track is incredible. People don't use them at the pro level for the same reason they don't use production blocks. Look up Sloppy Mechanics and see his 250,000 junkyard 6.0 with used head gaskets dyno over 1,000rwhp on both nitrous and turbo. Held together great and made many passes being driven to and from the track. They don't fall apart every 10 passes. That tells me you're talking straight out of your ass.
hard combo to beat right there. our 72' V8 grabber from the factory was 2700lbs new, youll struggle to get a foxbody that light. with a 434 windsor a plate and a fogger we went 8.90s at 150+ in the 1\4 on 10" hoosier QTPs with only a fiberglass grabber hood from Crites. made a lot of money on the streets of Detroit with that car
What a rarity now a days- A Ford in a Ford. Just WOW! Awesome coverage, awesome car. Keep posting these rarities. I can’t believe I’m saying that but really a Ford in a Ford keep em coming.
I'm not "quite" as much of a brand guy as I used to be...but I do still bleed ford blue! Huge fan of Mavs, Falcons, Fairlanes, Comets...and any other brand in that size group. As others have commented, nice to see a ford powered ford. No crossdressers here! And it just kept getting faster. The cat behind the wheel ain't no slouch either!! Wheels hangin, throttle pinned. Much Respect!!
Man your maverick is out from this world i love't is increible for real i got a maverick to is my favorite car forever from any other cars tnkz for share dud🤘🏻👹
The shock towers were the only problem. Most people cut them out and switched to pinto style front suspension before you could pick up a magazine and order parts delivered to ur door! They shifted weight to the back tires well with the stock front suspension, and the wheelbase was just long enough to keep you from looking at the back bumper when it got a little diecy! Some people trimmed the towers back and filled in with sheet metal for header clearance.
@TheRoadhammer379 you priced them?! Just get a box body! Anything will fit that bitch! Guys were putting Pinto clips in the Mavericks in the 80's! I like Fairmonts, got a wagon with manual rack, manual brakes, and it's a stick shift car. Rather just go camping!
I would love to build a 1970 Maverick with the 250 straight 6 turbo charged to see how well the performs. With a 4bl one one they got it to run in the 13s when test running them from R@D department.
Now that's the ticket. Man, this dude has this car DIALED IN. No wheel standing bullshit - just put all that power to the ground nice and smooth - second gear - bye bye!
For the people shocked about a ford with a ford engine being fast, the fastest manual car is a mustang with a gen 1 coyote. GM engines are more common because they have cheaper engines.
@@ramonmunoz9271 ; That would be funny as hell, i've got a 399ci 18* 10.7 to 1 N/A sbc that's putting down 641 hp@6400 for the street, enough to keep this old boy cheezin.
The Maverick is under appreciated, and way cooler than 1 of a million fox bodies.
Don't get me wrong I like fox bodies but they're just like a red car everybody and her brother got one! 😂 So yes gotta love the Maverick/Comets!!!
That's why I got mine
Cooler then the million Vega’s out there too.
Mavericks are the perfect ford drag car, super light, and good looking, but i love foxbodies too, jyst not With a chebby motor in them
460 swapping my 77 and selling a foxbody rn lol
That car is hooked up. I am not a brand guy, just love to see a nice working rig, no matter what the make.
Agree👍
Now that’s what you call “dialing it in”. Sweet American muscle 🏁💪🏼🇺🇸
I don't know if I have ever seen such a stable (non-professional) build quite like this before...he is on rails!
It's funny how a Ford powered by a Ford is a nice change of pace, and I'm a Chevy guy.
i agree completely lol
I love Ford powered Ford's 🙂
IT JUST SHOWS YOU DON T HAVE TO PUT A CHEV IN A FORD TO MAKE IT GO FAST
IT EVEN SOUND BETTER THAN A LS

I'm a brand guy,and I love seeing a Ford with a Ford engine getting it like this one does. I watched it at HSN Mokan, and it was pretty cool.
thats so cliquey and childish, like children in school lol
@@JTLDEN No putting an ls in everything you see is a disease p#ssies get.

They actually kinda are. Made going insanely fast available to the masses for pennies on the dollar.

Ok ok relax they’re not uncommon the fast Fords have Ford engines in them
@@CoyoteFTW the fastest fords have for engines in them, it’s just Chevy motors are cheaper.
That is the way it should be done Ford on Ford no lsx cross dressing BS car is killer man .
amazing!! Love how it's extra sleeper with the rust colors blue door and gold rims to match. It sounds great with that turbo, perfectly tuned
That thing is NASTY! Love it!
Damn, You can definitely see when that turbo ramps up! Nice work on the combo!
Amazingly straight launches.
FORD. POWER!!!✊
Makes me miss my 73 grabber... I so wanted to turbo that car...
73 had that single year "transitional" bumper the in between from the small to large. Definitely the best looking front bumper
@@constitutionalcarpenter541 agreed I wanted one for my 74 but I think I'm going to do a small bumper with a gasser look or a old street freak
Outside the knuckle dragging arena, decades of FirstOnRaceDay is common knowledge
I KEEP MY FORDS ALL FORD TO AND NEVER WORRY ABOUT IT
Had a 72 grabber absolutely loved it these cars are so underestimated it ain’t funny I think these are the real corvette killers
I have a 72 grabber red and black with black interior.
Respect to the builder,a mechanical work of art. Hope they don't paint it . . . 😆
Love it, thanks! Not only is it a Ford in a Ford car but it also hauls ass. 4.60’s the first time out is very impressive
Love the plaid seat cover. Nice touch. Badass car!
Sweet.....good job....best sounding Ford EVER
Wow what a beast old school I owned a 72 yellow maverick Grabber. Always like the body style.

I like how he smoked all those ls swaps lol
me to..
Not hard to do
Now all the LS swap guys. that's FORD power and built to last.. that car is fast .
I'm 100% a Ford man.
Bleed Ford Blue!
Ford in a Ford.
this this is straight badass. rollin straight as an arrow too. great build
Wow. ... I mean wow! I love Mavericks and Comets
That is a beast.
That sucker is movin! Carried the front wheels a ways and I doubt there was heavy contact on front end the rest of the way
It runs great and sounds great good job 👍
Take this on Dragweek!!!
My buddie had a Maverick Grabber back in 72 it had a pretty stout 302 and it was a real lite car so it hook up good fun car
so badass......car is perfect nice job
Man your maverick is out from this world i love't is increible for real i got a maverick to is my favorite car forever from any other cars tnkz for share dud🤘🏻👹
Damn hommie. That mav. Is an absolute hulk on the track. Damn!!
That is awesome 👌 I have an early 70/69.5 Maverick
NICE RIDE!!! LOVE IT!!!!
If it's a recent 427 ford racing motor then it's a badass motor. Not sure why u don't see more
People don’t want to spend the money for a good motor. That’s where they go. LS. They take the cheapest route.
The shock towers were the only problem. Most people cut them out and switched to pinto style front suspension before you could pick up a magazine and order parts delivered to ur door!

Nah, there's so many strut and suspension kits for the maverick now, even 428fe and 460s aren't a problem anymore.

@TheRoadhammer379 I got a 75 Maverick in the back, you're crazy.
That's one fast maverick 💯💯👍👍
2:51 the eyes of a maverick hunter
You done that right got a 71 grabber not nothing like that though bad ass I'm out of words . I'm jealous 😫 found one lol
Great video Ford power forever baby
one of my favorite cars !
Man you know that car is set up right it just just moves up a little bit in the front and goes faster and faster
That's the substitute I met them and got to talk to them at the outlaw Armageddon there great people
Nice car. Glad to see its NOT LS or 5.0 swapped.
That thing rips!!
WOW! 😮
Buddy… you should name that Maverick “ TOP GUN”😮😊
I know that Chevy guys don’t like other makes in their cars. Go Rob Dahm for putting rotarys in in corvettes!
how about putting the Maverick motor in a Corvette
@@sorshiaemms5959 a Ford guy would never do that!
@@randyadair7527 i would
There is a video of a 351 Cleveland in a vette
Dang! Well done!
wow ..thats a real Beast ...
Only 2 words "BAD ASS!!!"
That Maverick is sweet! Paint it!!
Really like the little Mav
Good job keeping the chrome on it & axle under it.
Damn, she liked that cool nite air. Nice car.
Once again , That thing is a sweet sleeper !!!! Thanks for posting that one.
aint nothing sleeper about a 6.50 cert cage and parachute lol but its cool since i have a zephyr on my channel no ls swappin lol
How tuff love it
AWESOM SOUNDING ENGINE
the maverick is such a nice car sadly it is under appreciated
That is super cool !!!!
Awesome car
Betcha the driver felt like the massive torque was going to push his back clean thru the seat back!
Nice, mad maxy look
Nice. I would bet money it is runnin a Powerglide tho😁
LOVE these videos keep it up ♥
Wow so good.
Good gracious........that's racing on the edge........That's one mean 427, and it's what I run, but not that quick.
Very nice
Bad ass Mav!!!!
That is a bad ass car.
I would love to build a 1970 Maverick with the 250 straight 6 turbo charged to see how well the performs. With a 4bl one one they got it to run in the 13s when test running them from R@D department.
What size turbo you running? Badazz car by the way!!!
INSANITY!!!!
Im a dodge guy but wow. The times he ishiting are crazy
Beast
Now that's the ticket.
Man, this dude has this car DIALED IN.
No wheel standing bullshit - just put all that power to the ground nice and smooth - second gear - bye bye!
Nice!

I always thought a Maverick was a great drag car. Just don't see many of them for whatever reason. This one is dialed in perfectly.
I’m a Chevy guy and I love it! 🤘
YOLL LEARN
@@sorshiaemms5959
😄👍🏻
@@shitbox7413 YOLL PROBABLY SEE ITS TAIL LIGHTS AND IF IT IS WHY DO CHEV GUYS GO OUT OF THERE WAY TO PUT CHEV MOTORS IN THEM
Dam , little faster than my old 72 😥 makes. Me wished I'd a kept it .
I see this guy all the time. He is a local at Ozark raceway Park in rogersville Missouri
Fast car
Plane awesome!!
Im not a Ford guy, but much respect to the owner & driver..That Maverick is one badass mofo!!!
can an ls even run in the 4s?
I have a few questions, what rear end with what gear and axles/spline.., and where did you get the rear Wing
Holy shit that bitch is fast. Those guys clearly know what they're doing.
Hard running Mav.
✌😎🇧🇷 SHOW
Badass
FORD #1 all day boys!! Not much is going to run with it.......
It's so ugly that it's beautiful 😍
I'm a life long Ford man with a very nasty Sonoma in process and I love this Maverick.
I hope you're putting a nasty SBF in it also!..Lol!
