Boss 302 Engine 1970 Small Block Ford
We realize some of you may be too young to know the Boss 302, so here's a look at our engine's namesake: the '70 Boss 302 small-block Ford. This bullet featured big-port, canted-valve 351 Cleveland heads; a solid cam; a four-barrel carb; and a stout, forged bottom end. We're taking the same route to big power-sort of. Our Boss is bored and will be stroked to displace 340 ci, also with stout forged pieces from Probe Industries down low. The bullet will be tested with aluminum versions of the Cleveland heads (Edelbrock/2V and Air Flow Dynamics/4V), hydraulic- and solid-roller camshafts by Comp, and Wilson Manifolds' mega-prepared Boss EFI intakes with lightweight spacers and a 1,136-cfm billet throttle body. ACCEL's new Thruster EFI engine management system will control the madness during all stages of the project.
