I guy down the road from where I live has a 1966 Ford pick-up that was his dad's. In the 70s his dad found got the engine from a smashed BOSS 302 in Texas. Now he loves that truck and would never sell it, BUT I might be able to talk him into selling the engine, because he is sorta in a bind for cash. I was thinking rebuild the engine, port the heads, add a edelbrock torker intake, a 800cfm carb, a cam, hedders, a T-5, and 4.11 gears. What type of HP would that make? Don't those engine rev to like 7,000 RPMs? If I remember my mustang history corectly the BOSS 302 had Clevland type heads that were the $hit, forged steel crank, forged rods and pistons. Is that corect? Just think about it my car painted silver or carcoal with a black BOSS 302 stripe over the hood and down the sides that breaks up into flames just before the rear tire....ahhhh..... so this is what hevean is like
