I fear you misunderstood my post Unit. The engine in the truck IS NOT a 2bbl 289. I thought I made it clear with the HP. It's a genuine solid lifter 289 HI PERFORMANCE. Rated at 271 horsepower from ford. It's not in an old ford truck it's in a 83 Ford Ranger (surprisingly,not factory by the way, heheh). Perhaps you could explain why the Boss had the slowest 1/4 times of three mustangs tested in MMFF. It was SLOWER than the Fox bodied GT AND the 4.6 99 GT tested a few months back. This was not a tired old junkyard Boss either. The traps were fairly repectable, denoting possible traction problems, but it also had a better set of gears.
