Fairmont
The demise of the Maverick spawned a more compact model, the Fairmont. The Fairmont shared the Fox chassis and was designed with an emphasis on efficiency and fuel economy. Easy serviceability and an optional 302 makes it a favorite for those who desire power in an modest package today. |

Currently rebuilding the car from the ground up. Motor is a 400 (rare FMX block w/small bellhousing). I have a Tremec TKO II and a built 8.8 out of a 1996 Cobra. Motor made 426hp@5000 rpm during the dyno break-in. I have not made a full dyno pull yet but I'll have rwhp figures when I get it on the road. |
