Bill: Thanks.

The reason I bought the, um, Ford Racing Replacement 302 block was out of frustration in finding a quality 302 block that I could trust. The 4 bolt mains and extra material were the selling point for me. I knew I could take this block and build several engines, including what NHRA called a BOSS 302. I have a Chilton book that covers 68 Mustang and Cougar and the Cougar did run a 302 (not BOSS) with a Holley, but they claim it was a 4160. When I can be sure of the carb specs, my engine will be the 230 hp Cougar. It has a larger carb than the 68 Mustang 302/230hp.
