Cool thing about the Boss longblock is that anyone can order it. I got a quote of $ 6400 delivered and that included the $ 1,000 core charge.

That engine is a screamer ! It can run @ 7500 rpm....easily !

CNC factory heads, forged pistons, stronger rods, oil cooler, larger cam, etc.
A racing engine put into a factory built street car....awesome !

The boss block is a Windsor conventional sbf style block I believe. It is not the modular block for the 4.6-5.4.
They just revived the 5.0 size in the mod motor for this years cars. F-150's come with a 5.0 now too.

Here is a pic of the new Boss 5.0 4v longblock.
Like I posted before, it's a 7500 rpm (road) racing engine put into a street legal Mustang.
The tell-tale sign that it's a Boss is the oil cooler.
Externally, everything else looks the same as the GT engine.

my mistake. I usually think of the car as opposed to the engine when someone says Boss 302

Since the drag packs got factored into A & AA, it probably won't be long until new engines hit the paper with small changes and more bogus-low hp ratings. It's becoming a big joke. The slow guys that suddenly got fast are going to need something to get back into the lower classes where the water ain't so deep.

I am not talking about the Boss 302 Pushrod @ 8.20 deck hight but the 4V four cam 5.0L that is used in the new 2011 Boss 302 Car code name of COYOTE in the 2011 NHRA engine specs it shows as as a 4 Valve finger foller Engine dual overhead cam small bore long stroke

Well, it appears this 2012 NHRA 302 listed may neither be a Mustang GT engine nor a Boss 4v.

It is possible the engine is a "made up on paper" engine..........according to this board member on Modular Fords: (post # 5)

"It's not a GT or a Boss according to the specs, it's an engine that doesn't exist. Someone goofed. All appearances are that it is the 2011 GT engine other than the piston and exhaust cam specs. I suspect that was the intent, to use that crate engine, much like they did with the 4.6 3V in the CJ previously. But the specs are wrong, not the first time they have submitted incorrect specs and cars got bounced for it previously too.

As listed it is a natural C car. Nothing there about transmissions, so no idea what can be used. Another paper car snuck into the guide, Ford hasn't put a production car in there for years now, just this made up ****. "

Sounds like a "CRATE MOTOR" to me.
