160-180kw at the treads, should come close, specially with a 350 holley, fully worked head and a IC&E 7 Amp ignition system with a booster. i want to see that the TB42 aspo can push the same amount of power as the TB42 turbos canOriginally Posted by patch697

I to would be intrested to hear more about the engine build and the outcome,as i have a complete one sitting on the shed floor at the moment.
A GOOD MATE WILL BAIL YOU OUT OF JAIL, A BEST MATE WILL BE SITTING NEXT TO YOU SAYING YEP WE F**KED UP
Crikey, interesting project!
Well keep us posted cos I for one will be watching this build with interest.....
well, ive wanted some serious power out of the Maverick but didnt want to loose reliability or have the cops taking to much notice so i decided to work the spare TB42 i had in the shed. i went and met my engine Builder John Pilla from Powerhouse Engines and had a chat, we ended up with a bit of a plan that consisted of a Blu print, Counter Balance, bore out (only 1 thou), a big cam, compression brought up to 9.5:1 taken off both head and deck, fully worked head (port and polish, hardened seats, bigger valves and springs, widening water jackets ect.) lightened and balanced flywheel, 350 holley and IC&E ignition, not really leaving anything standard. now just waiting for it to start to come together. not expecting to have it going till maybe late september/early October
