Re: Boss Mustang stocker
For anyone really interested in seeing what a good job Bill has done on these heads, here is a link to specs on MustangTek with rusty photos.
http://mustangtek.com/heads/D0AE-N.html EDIT: Re your edit: I don't think anyone on this particular thread has anything other than positive interest in your build. We (at least me) are curious because we all like good stuff. Dale

In this thread there is an Aluminum head pictured (with the recess around the crossover) and those real nice looking D0AE-N's. And yes, I'm nothing but supportive of seeing another 71 Boss hit the track. If I had more resources, I'd have the 71 285hp in my Cougar which the Boss wasn't available in. Looking forward to more post's on this build.

Re: Boss Mustang stocker
Whoops, sorry about that, . With the shiny from that fresh mill cut across that face, I mistook it for aluminum. My bad.

Re: Boss Mustang stocker
I am waiting for the strut rod crossmember to show up,so I can start putting the front end back together but.... before I open the next can of worms.....I have seen these on plenty of cars but I can't find the word roller bearing in the rule book under front suspension anywhere...maybe somebody with better reading skills can help me out

Re: Boss Mustang stocker
The opentracker roller upper and lower control arms are legal, as is the roller spring perch. I had the whole mess on my '71, including the double-roller spring perches (expensive) and you will be absolutely astonished at how freely the front end moves. The alignment guy loved it too. Don't forget to notch the upper frame rail where the upper arm hits to get a bit more suspension travel on launch. You will need to lower the upper shock mount at the same time to keep the shocks from bottoming out. It will be easier to find shocks if you use the earlier "T" upper mount instead of the single stud version that came on the '71. Get the best double adjustable shocks you can. I used the Calvert shocks and they are awesome for launch, but are way under-damped when landing after a wheelstand and the car bounces way too much. What is NOT legal are modified strut rods, like the Calvert with the spherical bearing. They are OK in SS but not in stock. The stock strut rods work just fine. Poly bushings make it stiffer but perhaps a little more stable on the top end. I would just use new rubber bushings if it were me.
