i see the stang with that engine gets the torque/brace bar across the engine bay. don't think i have seen that since the older 390/429 equiped stangs of the 60's and 70's.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

Bust out the Tivo's...

Speed had an hour long program on the development of the new Boss 302 and Laguna Seca package.

It is on several more times as well!

So as long as ford calls it 302 it is 302, just nothing similair at all to 302's of old.

I'd say it's probably the only 302 I'd consider putting in my heavy truck if I had the means...

Yeah my current truck was a tire burning turd with its 302, i'm glad it blew up. It would bust the tires no matter how slow it started from a stop. Thats all the 302 was worth in my 72.

Now the 390 can burn them when i try, but gets of the line with minimal tire burn, and can actualy hual it's own azz.

The brutal torture, especially the thermal cycle testing, that the Ford engineers are putting their new engines through during development is very, very impressive. They are still buildin'em " Ford Tough" :thup: (IMO tougher than ever actually)
