Rejoice Ford Fans! You can have a "Boss" Hoss!

The aftermarket has responded enough that you could build a "Boss" Mustang for a reasonable price. By reasonable, I mean a lot less than it would cost to buy an original. Edelbrock sells heads and intake manifolds so you can build a "Clevor" Boss 302 or Boss 351 engine out of a generic 302 or 351W. Trick Flow also has aluminum performance heads for Cleveland engines. The real news is Jon Kaase racing now sells Boss 429 Cylinder heads that will fit a "regular" 429 / 460 block, and they also sell complete Boss 429 engines. Their not cheap-a Boss 9 crate motor starts at $19,900-but do the math. If you buy a nice 1969 or 70 Mustang Fastback for 15 or 20 grand, and spend another 20 or 25 on the Boss 9 conversion-you've got a Boss 429 Mustang for less than 50K. Not chump change, but considering that the last "Real" Boss 429 I saw go through Barrett-Jackson went for $185,000 it's quite a deal. Kaase offers engines from 429 to 600 cubes and from 500 to 1,500 hp ( with a blower ). If you "Gotta Have" a Boss Mustang, this might be the only way to get one. Mastermind
