i'm pretty much new to classic cars and all the mechanical aspects,but have always dreamed of owning one,but i'm not going to bore u guys with all that.My question is this does anyone know what size engine would be compatible with a 1970 ford maverick w/an automatic trans?The origonal engine is a re-built straight 6,maybe i'm just to used to the modern engines but iv'e driven 4 cylinders with more get up and go than my maverick engine.Maybe if noone has any ideas on diffrent engine compatibility maybe u can give me some ideas on how to get better performance out of my existing engine.It takes a couple of times to get it started and does n't run well until it's ran awhile,ive replaced all plugs and wires,seems to do a little better not much though.I'm open to all ideas just be patient please as i am deffinetly a newbie to classic cars,but,am more than willing to learn as i love the classics.Thank you for your time.
