Figured I’d pop in and kinda give an update. Nothing really to report other than I’m over 1000 miles with no issues other than a leaky passenger valve cover that I’ve tried two different gaskets on. I’m at the point where I’ll probably use a bit of rtv on it to seal it up. It’s a small leak but annoying. A friend has rented out our local track for a day next month so I’ll be joining in on that to get some track time without the pressure of 60 cars in the staging area. Hopefully get some good data.

Just a few facts to throw out there... you will find that the AFR on the dyno will be different than on the street depending on how much they load the dyno [assuming mustang dyno] this will depend on how they input the info for the car ect....

My suggestion is to not worry about the AFR for one or two pulls. What I have noticed between dyno and street is that the AFR on the dyno will appear leaner [more load] than on the street by about .2 AFR... Now most of this experience is from MOD motor 4v turbo builds

Ya i wouldn't make any changes unless they were in the danger zone and since I've beat on it pretty good lately i wouldn't expect any needed changes. Maybe some timing to see if its responding either way.

A little off topic. I sold my 66 Thunderbird! I’m now looking at buying a Factory 5 mk4 looks like they use sn95 spindles and brakes and 87-04 rear diff. and other miscellaneous foxbody parts. I have always wanted to build one of these since I was a kid. I will probably just rebuild the old engine from my mustang. Nothing crazy pretty mild.

I had a guy pass me the other day driving a black Cobra clone. Not sure if it was a Factory 5 or not, but it was well put together and looked great! I agree that it looks like it would be a fun project.

So Factory 5 is a 7 month min wait and they say there would be an additional 4-6 months for back ordered parts that aren't available as soon as the chassis and body!!! That's pretty discouraging.

well lets see what other opportunities arise....

ya know, there must be something about that cars styling compared to the other clones there are out there. I haven’t been a fan of that car for years, and there is a stretched version with double roll bars currently in our service dept that to me just looks like ass.

Conversely, that silver car in the picture is a very good looking example. What do they do different ( if anything) to make that car look better than the rest?

Factory 5 makes the closest replica to the original so its not wider and longer like some of the other kits that try to make it more "comfortable"

I really like Fatory 5's Daytona clone as well. I'd almost be tempted to build one of those just because you don't see them running around like the Cobras.

Things happened and opportunities presented themselves and I found this one owner 1972 Maverick Olympic edition. 100% original everything. Has a weak 250 6cyl with a c4. This winter it will get sbf swapped. New wheels and tires etc.

One owner. For real it was owned by a lady who just died. She was 97. Her nephew was executor. Maintenance documents going all the way back.

That's incredible! That's the kind of vehicle I've always longed to find. Congratulations on snatching it up before some vulture reseller did!

Ya. It was only listed on Facebook messenger. I couldn’t believe I found it. Unbelievably clean.

Seriously good find...Funny how back then, the body look was so so. You look at it today with totally different eyes. My grandmother left me a Grabber like that when I was nineteen, and I destroyed it within months. That six motor still has a lot of power.

Just in case you need to know how you can take the exact same Maverick 250, cut open the side to expose the lifter galley, create a cover plate to fix that, Hog open the push rod galley to allow them to swing way out to accommodate a canted valve head, and the contact info to get in touch with someone in Australia to Source that head built for Ford Australia by Honda, that you have to put cut down 1.75“ BBC exhaust valves in as intake valves, and + .0500”:extended length SBC 1.50 exhaust valves for exhaust valves, then add Custom length pushrods, guided by custom built guide plates, using 1.75 ratio BBC offset roller rockers, operating BBC beehive springs, then machine the crank to accommodate a SBF balancer, and A SBF timing chain minus 2 teeth sourced from some guy in India, Then give you the address for the Aussie cam grinder that can grind a solid roller cam to accommodate 6 BBF roller lifter pairs to ride on, A machine shop to Bore open the cylinders to allow a .250 over bore sleeve to fit,, held together with a butt load of JB weld…..And Hard block engine filler…

I know a guy.
