Re: Boss Mustang stocker
The Track Boss 351C block that is approved for NHRA Stock/SS is 9.2 deck 2.75 mains, splayed caps and 1 piece rear seal , Siamese bores and updated priority main oiling
They also will be available with optional 302 mains, all bulkheads on all blocks are solid (XE design) all blocks have a provision (material added) for a left hand GM starter (drivers side) all blocks have enough material to bore the cam tunnel to 60mm and, as of now the patterns will be updated for offset or non standard lifter bore locations. Non standard deck heights will be added at a later date.

Now, look up 77 400 and it shows rod length as 6.58". The 351M and 400 both have 6.58" rods and the 351C has 5.78" rods. So, either the guide is messed up or 351C have been produced from 70-82 but I've never seen a 75-82 351C for some reason?? Who has ever seen a short deck height 351C, the same as a 70-74 351C in anything newer than a 75 car?? EDIT: Oh, and firesale, you're correct on the poor oiling system, only cure was to block off the passages to the cam and oil it externally from the sending unit "T" down to the cam from up top. Took the bottom end out of countless amount of clevelands until another ford guy showed me the trick. Last edited by goinbroke2; 12-31-2015 at 02:01 AM. |

According to the guide the 1970 BOSS 302 had 5.090 rods, Same as the regular 302. It's not perfect. Disclaimer: I'm no expert, just a good researcher. This is Bill's build thread. I'm going to leave it to him as the owner. I'm talking too much... Dale

Re: Boss Mustang stocker
I noticed that several years but it is wrong! All Boss 302 used the 5.15 rod which is actually the 289hp Rod the 5.090 was used in all 302 production engines.

Deck height on a 351C is 9.206, the 351M and 400 are 10.297" To put it bluntly, you cannot use 351C rods in a 351M. Pull the crank and pistons out of a 400 and put in 351M crank and pistons and you now have a 351M, everything is the same except crank and pistons. So, why has this never been picked up? I'll assume it's because nobody has ran a 351M in anything. Although I do remember a mid 70's green wagon but I'm sure it was running a 400. (jolly green giant maybe?) Regardless there's no replacement rod for the 400 (or 351M) |

Re: Boss Mustang stocker
There is also a 10.300 block on the drawing board. Tim builds a lot of 400 based combos (not in HHRA) and that is his pet project, ultimately the tall deck will be added
