    The boss 302 is back

     



    I was looking up the BOSS motors on google and looks like ford remade the boss 302 and according to ford and this site i read they made it alot better. http://www.stangnet.com/Mustang-Afte...ne-061031.html artical about it. heres another link http://www.moddedmustangs.com/ford-b...-comeback.html i was just woundering what you guys think about the new BOSS. I would sure like to drop that motor in a 1932 3 window coupe.
    Thanks
    Mike

    It's a nice retro piece, but if you want some Clevor power, then try a stroked 351W block and the Aussie 2V heads!!!! Or, just pick up a modular 4.6 and slap on a supercharger!!!!

    You still have some of them Aussie parts, Erik???
