When you take a Maverick and shove a small block in it and then send it down the dragstrip with the front wheels in the air, it is always a good time. Tell me I’m wrong. But while I dig a Maverick of any kind, there is something extra awesome about one that does all this with an original 302 with stock heads and carb. Why would someone do that you ask? Because it’s an NHRA Stock Eliminator car, that’s why and Stockers Are Rad!

Check out the feature on this one from Evan Smith.

More great Maverick action from Maple Grove Raceway. This is Duane Hoven’s 302 Maverick that he’s owned since he’s 14 years old. It now runs 10s with a small-block 302 using stock heads and carb.
