Questions about Cobra Jet 5.0

Is the 302/325 that is listed in the 2012 Blueprint specs a Coyote motor or a Boss 302??(or are they the same??). We are thinking about building "something" and like the drunk in the liquor store, every thing looks so good, its hard to make a choice. seems the "paper" motors would be the cheapest and easiest, but the blown motors are so under rated that they sure look good on paper. I just need to win the lottery.

If anybody "knows" about the 302/325 I would sure appreciate any info.

Thanks RJ

The engine in question is mostly a 2011 Mustang GT engine(Coyote), but it has 1MM more exhaust cam lift(a mistake in the specs maybe?) and the piston specs are rather vague, I can't tell if they are the same or not.

The Boss, AKA Roadrunner, has different heads, intake, and another 1MM more exhaust cam lift.

It is kind of obvious by now that Ford submits specs that are different from production car stuff for a reason.
My guess is that they do that intentionally because they not want racers to use production car parts, but rather that they u$e their "Ford Racing" specialized part$.
Kind of a slick marketing move tho.

I still like the 2010 4.6L 3V CJ engine rated @ 232 hp.....what a ringer of an engine combo......LOL (CNC ported heads, large T.B., big cams, etc.) and "only" 232 hp ???

If I was going to build a naturally asperated CJ, that would be my choice.
