Re: Boss Mustang stocker
from Tim.....
January 5th I drive to the foundry to inspect the changes to the Track Boss Cleveland block. If everything looks OK, they can pour 2 samples for us immediately. We probably won't know the exact price until we have run a few blocks. Our estimate is cast iron blocks will be in the $3250-$3750, Our aluminum blocks will be in the $4900-$5900 range.

As noted, the only rod length for the 1970 302 listed is 5.090 when everyone in the Ford community knows the BOSS 302 ran 5.155 rods. They list it in 69 but not 70. You also can't race a 68 GT350 with the good 4bbl legally because that car is nowhere in the Stock Car Classification Guide. Just the GT500. As if no one ever took a GT350 to the strip in the 60s... You are correct with the rod lengths for the 351. NHRA lists the 70 351c with 5.780 rod length. For 1975, the 351m has 6.580 rods listed and there is a 351w in that year with 5.959 rods. If I were to build a 351 to move up in GT, I would be very careful with the details. Dale

Re: Boss Mustang stocker
The rearend, or bringing up the rear..LOL
I am taking a hard long look at housing ends, and really like the Strange H1149 and P1018 axle kit although its overkill for a stock HP level. But, I do like the idea of a mis-alignment bearing as these cars use the longest housing so the chance of bending/flexing ect is more and of course if I am going to blow that kind of cash might as well get the bearings/gear micro blued as well also. I have selected lamb brakes for the front, but not decided on rear yet, the axle kit does have a MW brake option Suggestions?

Re: Boss Mustang stocker
I watched more than a few "stock HP" cars drop rear ends and axles at the track before I got off my butt to build my 68 coupe, so I put $3100 in Strange hardware back there. And I drive it to the track at the time being. It has a Detroit locker.
Just Do It. Dale

Re: Boss Mustang stocker
I will be using the high misalignment bearing system, either Strange or MW EV4.1 system....I have not made up my mind yet. but, with a 60+ long flange to flange I see the benefits of it
Lamb brakes at all 4 corners

Re: Boss Mustang stocker
The correct part number for the 351C block has been updated in the accepted products list available from Tim Meyer inc
There is also a new diamond piston available for the Boss 351/330hp that has been approved also it will be on the list soon as I have a part number

Re: Boss Mustang stocker
Debating...anotherwords, I can't make up my mind on weather or not to bump this up to a SS combo. I am at the point now where it is cheaper to backhalf instead of restore the 45 year old rear section to stock specs. The rear end is cheaper, the entire driveline for that matter will cost me less than top of the line parts, that will work, look right and pass tech in "stock"
I really do want it to be a stocker though
