Yeah no shit mines got a bad rod bearing and making wristpin noise and still starts and gets me there every time

@@seancarr7018 Buce Sizemore used a 240 block and turned it into a 300 engine. Ford 240 engines had 4 bolt mains He cut three Ford 351c cylinder heads and welded them together. His Ford Maverick held the NHRA H/MP record for several years. High 10's - low 11's.

That's because it's a 67-68 Mustang underneath...

At least you had the pleasure of owning one as for me I lost out on the chance of owning 3

They called it a 300 but it is a 292 cubic inch engine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@donaldk.macbaird4950 No, it's 300ci. (4" bore, 3.98" stroke)

Because it was produced for so long, it started life as the infamous 300c.i. inline six cylinder engine. and then became the also infamous 4.9L inline six cylinder engine. the big difference between the early generation and the later generation. was the early gen. was carbureted and the later gen was electronic fuel injection. they were first introduced in 1965. and stayed in production on up into the late ninety's. they were used in many different kinds of vehicles. from cars, to vans, to pickup trucks, and all the way up to F 700 dump trucks. and they used in the big brown UPS trucks. and a fairly large number of them were used for industrial use. and some of them found their way into various different kinds racing. and had pretty good success. Bob Glidden and John Hasse experimented with them. this was perfect match up the big six in a Maverick. because of how the wheelbase is laid out the Maverick transfers the weight to the rear axle real well. Mavericks weren't known for being especially great street car's. but they make excellent drag car's. although the Grabber model was a pretty cool car.

@@musicauthority3516 In the 45 years I spent working on cars, light trucks and heavy trucks I have become quite familiar with 300s. They're not infamous, they're legendary..

@@AmericanThunder I have been an automotive technician most all my life. and a Ford service specialist most of that working for a Lincoln Mercury dealership. and over those many years I have built a number of FE engines. including a couple of them for myself. and I have owned a couple 300c.i. 4.9L inline sixes. and I still currently own one that is in a 1981 F250 4x4 with a four speed trans.. a person might say my area of expertise is in the FE engines. but I know the big six very well also. so when I say infamous the word legendary is covered under the umbrella. of the meaning of the word infamous. which it truly is one of greatest engines that Ford Motor Company has ever produced.

300s dont use timing chains they are gear to gear

The flaw is not having a Cross Flow Head. That's why no one builds them...

@@bluesky-ud9wg Ironic you replied now. I just saw a guy here who’s built one with a LS head and a gt45 turbo. There are guys on his page who’ve said they’re doing the same and even a guy using a hemi head.

@@Superstallion1993 Yea I've seen that also. There was a guy long ago that modified a 351 Cleveland head to work on the block and made great power

@@bluesky-ud9wg It’s good people actually innovate and do things like that instead of the same old things over and over.

Joelson Richetti don't bother. stock rods can take 500hp on a full inside out build easy. this Maverick here had literally nothing done to it internally other than a rocker arm change and a bigger oil pump and pan, rest of the internal are stock. guy then just stuck a turbo with air to water intercooling on it and never had any engine problems. Google Mike s mean Maverick. it's fucking awesome.

@GEO Mason my5ltr.tripod.com/NHRArules.html TAIL LIGHTS - Must have one functional tail light for night operations. Flashing, blinking or strobe lights prohibited. See General Regulations 8.6

Or how much fun it will be going agianst beemers and benzes as well as scaring tuners becuase this car is smaller then most 4 door and Nissan Z cars

I read Holley 600 double pumper

300

And look like mad max as that is what I also thought about the engine

he won, the win light is on his side, he tree'd the other dude

C Man It didn't LOSE. When you go to the track, you don't pick your opponent or get matched up fairly. You get thrown in line with a bunch of other guys testing their cars out. So it's not about who else does what next to you. SOME ppl care about the guy next to them, but most of us don't. We want to know what our motors are capable of. This is sheerly a benchmark for our hard work.

Kenneth Skipper 4.9l = 299.0163ci 5.0l = 305.1187ci For marketing purposes and to tell them apart Ford uses 4.9 = 300ci I6 5.0 = 302ci V8 This car has an inline 6 300ci engine. Look it up online.

Rob S Your right about this car...I was wrong.The ford 302,the pontiac 301 were 4.9 liters,Ford only rounded up because five O sound better as far as marketing goes,this is well known auto knowledge sir.Thats a cool maverick by the way.

Anything between 303-307 cubic inch is labeled five O

My father and I have had several arguments about this with all the 305 and 307 engines from different periods and manufacturers. Same thing with 350, 351... and 454, 455

Rob S I hear you buddy,I know the math is really close either way.
