I remember reading about the GTD Spirit of America, but I did not know they were making a Darkhorse Spirit of America

Because THEIR NOT ... Why would they pollute the "GTD version" by making another version in other models - of the same edition, would just be dumb, So ....

Where have you been? It’s not like they haven’t done it before-

Why didn't Ford ever stick a 351 in the Maverick? It is physically the same size as the 302 that they did use, and was used in a number of other cars during the 70-77 period that the Maverick was produced.

That would have made this a memorable car.

They are physically NOT the same size. The 302 has an 8.2” deck height and a 351W has either a 9.4 or 9.5 deck height depending on year built.
Let’s not even go down the 351C rabbit hole.

Ah! I did not know that.

Does it not fit in a Maverick, then? EDIT: Google says it requires mods to fit.

OK, back to our usual programming.

Pretty much every non-factory engine swap requires mods to fit.

First time I went to drop a 427 BBC in a ‘57 Bel Air I ran into firewall clearance problems. My buddy said hold on, I’ll get special tool BFH and fix that.

Yeah, didn’t take long.

So many, many, many years ago - not going to copy their flagship money wagon
