    Great nostalgic engine. You read about these in old books but it was great to watch the original build and then this recap. Great work.

    The big improvement the Boss brought was a 4 bolt main bottom end. The problem with the Boss was the valve train had trouble controlling the mass of the valves at 7,000 + RPM where the heads really were getting with the program. My 69 Boss would run out of revs above about 6500 - it needed roller lifters and rockers to permit valve springs with enough strength to handle 8,000 RPM. The cam was also pretty mild and combining a more robust cam with the improved valve train would have made this a track star - but would be pretty wimpy on the street as you would need 4500 RPM to wake it up.

    Enjoy your combination of building process and Dyno results. Would also like to see the same engines as stage one, stage two, stage three etc. in terms of changing the cam, intake, head porting, etc and how the engine responds to these changes.

    Beautiful little motor and that intake and 2x4’s really set it off. Wouldn’t it be nice to drive his Cobra with this in it. Can’t understand FE’s in Cobras when a 289/302/351 will do extremely nicely.

    One thing I’d like to see is a comparison between old-school engine set ups and using modern engine management systems on these engines and seeing the differences in terms how modern management systems affect performance as compared to using the old-school method.

    The reason the Tunnel Ports had problems is Ford in a cost cutting measure took the assembly and machining away from Shelby and had them built on the factory assembly line. Didnt work out for obvious reasons.

    Them blocks along with the 302 Boss?

    Hearing it take off in the RPMs makes it feel like it found its flow volumetrically. I wonder if stroking it with a 3.5 stroke would have brought that in and helped make more work from the heads? Cave man talk hahaha

    i also found filling the floors on intake runners in 4v cleveland heads to be beneficial and on the boss 302. most of the boss 302 stuff that ran under my nose usually had filled blocks and several sleeve jobs and block repairs. never built a boss 302 but swore id run a effective main girdle and hollow dowel the mains if i did.

    • @lykinsmotorsports
      @lykinsmotorsports  7 месяцев назад +2

      Boss 302 blocks are extremely strong, almost to the modern aftermarket block level. Not much needed for them to handle horsepower. Not a fan of main girdles....never seen where they make much difference at all. Most Fords split between the mains and the cam, a girdle doesn't do much to stop that, it just keeps the block halves hooked together when it blows up.

      David vizard had some info on that.
      on a 302w he explained it’s more about changing the frequency/vibration….the girdle he uses doesn’t even look that strong but it puts the frequency in a different place and really helps
      He explained he hadn’t split a ford 8.2 block since using it and the valley braces the hp he quoted was stupid silly for a stock block 😂

    Random question... When you're building engines with screw in freeze plugs, do you not remove them to clean the cooling system, or is it just not caught on video?

    I have this weird notion that a video channel is not the ideal place to display static images. Probably easier production... The ease and simplicity of production is inversely proportional to entertainment value.

    Real hard to find a dedicated machinest /builder in the Pacific northwest .
    First question out of a real builder/machinest should be what are your intention with the engine ! What kind of parts do you want to use! Here you walk through the door with dollar signs on your forehead . No real fast street cars here .
