My first rodeo.... this was in the late 1970's, second pic is same car updated in the 1980's....I am thinking of going old school with Centerlines or Supertricks on this build, brings back memories. What you all think?

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
If you don't mind back-halving the car, it looks to me like the Boss 351 engine factors are a lot better for SS than Stock. Actually I think if I were trying this in stock I would be hammering NHRA to reduce that 355HP stock rating. There is absolutely no justification for a 50HP hit to the Boss engine as compared to the 285/305 variant in stock. No one has run the Boss engine in stock from what I can tell, while the 285 has been run quite a bit and has had AHFS hits and still only factors to 305. A point of compression and a little bigger cam surely doesn't justify a 50HP difference in otherwise identical engines.

In an earlier post you complained about having to put a lousy stock intake on your supernatural heads. SS would take care of that issue. The big ports in the heads has always argued for high RPMs, and a nice roller cam would help with that too, all with a more favorable 330HP rating (still too high IMHO, but a hell of a lot better than 355HP in stock).

The Boss engine is AHFS factored to 340 in a SS/GT too, a sure sign that there is something more there for it in regular SS at 330.

I'll bet Jim Evanuik could give you a lot of guidance on a SS variant.

We always wanted to try the big hp cleavland but we had problems with the hp we made much less the extra with the 2+ points of compression and different combustion chamber. We ran the 275/315 hp 72 open chamber flat top combination and it would make 650 with all real cleavland stuff except pistons and valve train in 1994 and turn 8800 most of the time. lol . With the aluminum heads, after market block and other new rules it would be a 800 hp combo at 93-9400 rpm + I bet.. It would be fun to build another one..

Rob Youngblood ran the 71 Boss combo (in D/S) a while ago before he jumped ship to the Corvette.

Still kicking this around...I thought "stock" was supposed to be entry level if you can read my chicken scratch installing "new" stock front end components is quite a bit more money than converting to GT or MS specs.

my 98 sn95 with stock front end, core support, ect still all there Strange Gt struts

Glad you talked to Rob. I talked to him , I think, in the late 80"s when he was still racing that car & one of the divisional's was still @ our home track. Still have the business card he gave me.Yeah alot has changed, he ran that car Hard @ least from my view.

My Cougar wasn't offered with the boss combo, but if I win the lottery I'm eyeing the 285 combo.

For wheels I really like the satin Centerlines.
