Hey everyone!
My name is Josh Cruz, I'm a kid from brooklyn and I got my hands on a 1976 Ford Maverick (250ci I6) back in February and just finished getting the engine apart. Engine looks like its in pretty good shape (only 67000 miles on it); the body definitely has some issues though. I'm currently in the process of leaning what i have to do to get the engine back in tip top shape and deciding what parts I'll want to throw on it. Just got my hands on the Falcon Six Performance handbook and am almost all the way through it. I definitely want a set of aluminum heads and already contacted Matt about them.
Anyone know which intake manifolds will bolt onto the Aluminum heads?
Also, looking for a machine shop not too far from Brooklyn, NY (willing to go as far as PA or upstate NY or a 100ish mile radius) with a specialty in sixes. If anyone has any leads on either it would be much appreciated.
Glad to be part of this unique and knowledgeable community! thanks for your time everyone!
