Ford Perf. M-6007-X302B BOSS

[David Hodgkins]

Jeff,

I'm a major fan of that motor, and used them in both of my builds:

Here's my first. IRS/ 3.55/ Torsen diff:



And my second, built for my brother. Moser 3-link, 3.55's too. Not sure which traction lock the Moser came with:



BTW, the completely dressed motor/clutch/External Hydraulic throw out\QuikTime\TKO 600 with mid-shift was $14k+. I believe the LONG BLOCK was somewhere over 7K. If the primary purpose of the car is cruising with occasional autox or road coarse there is plenty of motivation under the hood without getting crazy. For this application IMO it's basically bullet-proof. I was planning to use it again for my future Gen4 Coupe/GTM2 build.



I love how compact this motor is. It allowed me to fabricate a ginormous passenger foot box and increase the driver's side foot box as well. It is indeed a bummer that it's no longer available.

There are several vendors on this site that can build you a nice 302, even down to duplicating the specs with the "B" cam and forged internals. Take your time and call a bunch of them. As the admin of the site I'll defer my personal opinions but I will say that price and quality are two very different things.
