Blue My Mind, 1972 Ford Maverick

[HotRod47]

First off nice little mavrick. My buddy is going to be doing one soon (he hopes).

But may I ask, why such a tiny cam? I had one in my 92 fox and hated it. Of course I like a huge radical cam, but I did not like the performance of it at all. I had every bolt on to match it as well (5.0 performer upper and lower, 24 lb injectors and mass, z-T5, 3.73 etc...). But I guess the stock E7's could have killed it too. Just curious on the little cam.

Sweet ride though & will be watching

I have been a Chevy guy all my life. I love the Ford body styles, but always ran an SBC in them. This car is my first all Ford car. I am learning as I go. My brother in law built a Factory Five Cobra last year. I am going by the specs he put in his 302. I love the way his sounds and runs. He is running the E cam without any concerns or problems. I will put it in and if I decide I don't like it I will swap it out later on. My cars are all distance drivers, not racers. We think nothing of jumping in our hot rod and driving it 13 hours to Columbus for the GoodGuys show. I think it will be fine. If not, I will change it.
