Jason for 10k you could go into the 10's. The hard part is the 12-15MPG.
The best way to do both is to go with EFI and a Blower. Or Carb and NitrousOxide. Either way would difinetelly get you into the 13's and still be drivable with 12-15MPG. The way you build the Motor and the car will depend on what way you want to motivate it. Good luck.
: Just out of semi-seriousness, but mostly out of sheer psychotic wondering.... would it be possible... for say a budget of under 10K to build a 1974 4door maverick into a machine that could do the 1/4 in 13seconds or better yet still retain a certain level of driveability with 12-15 miles to the gallon? i am kinda curious as to if this is even semi doable. i know that most imports can do the 1/4 in 14 or so and they get around 20... i was just curious. Oh, and naturally aspiriated is the way i would like to go, unless say supercharging helps with the driveability. Hey thanks guyz for putting up with my odd thoughts and queries into all things MAVERICK!!! long live em!!!!!!!!!
