Just submit it to NHRA for approval like many have done for other applications.

I did, waiting on a response

Bill,
Those are showing up all the time on E-bay. If not there, there's Perogi or other Mustang/Cougar resto sites. But yes, they're spendy.

See if you can get them to approve the ford Motorsport m-6049-A3 cylinder head,seeing how ford built it as the replacement head for the Boss 351 per the 1984 ford Motorsport catalog.

Good luck with that, I don't think they would like the raised exhaust port.....the cast iron are fine, they are some bad boys with the right valve work

Question....has anybody rung up a 9 sec pass in legal stock eliminator trim with a small block ford yet?

Just missed bidding on a DA intake about 6 hours ago on eBay it went for 500.00 and it was untouched still had carbon soot build up inside of it.D??

I don't get on Ebay much every time I do I get outbid.

This is the Blue Thunder I would like to see approved #IM-351C-4VC

For a cylinder head to be approved, it must be currently available.

Well...............so much for that plan. Next?

Bill,

After reviewing your request, there is a significant difference between the Ford and Blue Thunder plenum divider. With that said your request to allow the use of the Blue Thunder intake is denied.

Bill,
What part # heads do you use? I think I have a set of 351 4bbl or 302 boss heads stuck back in my core building. I've had these for ever. I think they are pretty much virgin. Is the water passage in the deck the only difference? I've got old timers and can't remember.

Mostly yes on the diff, Adger. There were some Boss 302's with 2.25 intakes. One year I think.

Heads, probably either the D0AE-N or the D1AE-GA if claiming as a 71. (there's 3 #'s for a 72 275 horse engine which are neither of these) Which I would be looking for myself if I could afford to run my car in "G". But alas, I cannot.
