beware of wiki! Ford built two Boss engines in '69 and '70. Small block Boss 302 and big (429-460 ) block Boss 429. Boss 302 had Cleveland 351-style, big valve heads. Boss 429 had spark-plug-in-center hemi style heads.Both engines were made for high-rpm running, where they made great high-end power. The Boss 302 was developed for Trans-Am series racing, the Boss 429 for NASCAR. Boss Mustangs were far more than styling.

John Kaase is an excellent Ford race engine builder. I believe he can even help the chevy boys make better power.....

C'mon Cale. Switch over to a bowtie. You know you like the Z06. Imagine running a Z06 in Pro Mod...I dare you. You clearly can handle the Ponies, so how about a Vette? They probably don't allow Vettes in IHRA PS, right? Just a guess as i know the rules are different that the NHRAs. At any rate, I wanna see someone manning a Vette. Go, Cale, go!

That's what I was saying, I think. rotor22 was sying it's a wedge, not a Boss. When you asked for the rotor for the definition, I chimed in with the definition, which you just confirmed. This is a wedge headed car, not a Boss.And it kicks total ASS!!!!! But you still haven't given me mpg numbers. :-\LOL!!!!

It is a Blue Thunder (Thor) Head. It is a wedge headed engine. A Hemi Head is where the plug is located directly in the middle of the combustion chamber and where the plug goes down through the valve cover. We run an 815 Hemi in my Pro Stock car.

wouldn't that be the hemisperical head with the sparkplug in the middle? It looks like this one has the plugs placed more "traditionally"But it's badass nonetheless!! What kind of fuel mileage do you get out of it and how does it behave in traffic?LOL!!! J/KNICE, man!!
