scrap,
several years ago i got a ride in a webber- carburated, 300 six-powered maverick, with a 5-speed. what an awsome ride! a falcon would be even better! the owner delighted in blowing the doors off of mustangs, camaros and other car drivers, who often sneered at his lowly, plain-jane maverick!
if i remember right, the radiator mount had to be moved forward about 3", but the conversion was no big deal.
