RUFDRAFT Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Yes, it's my plate! I got tired of people asking what a Rufstang was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970boss302 Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 The aluminator is a 4.6. The BOSS 5.0 is a revised modular with longer sleeves... approx 3.63 x 3.65 b/s. Everything I hear is that the BOSS is 100% real. The '10MY mustang will be an early release but the BOSS won't be on the accelerated launch schedule -- later in the year ...likely around typical job-1 dates (summer). I'd tell you more but then I'd have to ..well, you know. Dan With Ford and Shelby possibly keeping the Shelby Gt500 thing going maybe the Boss will have a better price down the road due to the limited amount ??

All this Oil shit is depressing . Looks like a repeat of the 70's and high oil repeated. Maybe our Goverment will finally get an energy policy.

68fastback Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Hope to get some GOOD news out of Ford about the New BOSS. Has anyone hear anything ?? Nothing new -- summer of '09 as a '10MY, 5.0 revised modular, long-sleeve, low-deck, DOHC, roughly square bore/stroke. Certainly could change but doubt it because it's gotta be well-baked by now. Btw, at least one site that had originally published the eroneous information (no names being mentioned :rolleyes:) now has it right because they were 'contacted,' saw the errors of their earlier statements, made some calls to validate, and then revised their site info -- kinda funny since they're now being quoted ...gotta love it. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangFanatic Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'm glad to see everyone realized that Mark Field's comments were solely limited to the H/Boss engine family as applied to Light Duty trucks and had NOTHING at all to do with the Mustang. It is amazing how fast bad information can travel!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1970boss302 Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 The Texas Hot is there, Better Days...along with a number of old wealthy folks from the boomtown days. I guess we have to wait till November the the LA auto show to see what FORD has in mind for the Mustang and new Boss models. In this crazy world who knows what lies ahead. Even classic auto's are dropping in price. Maybe this is the fast track to making the USA a second class nation ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapp Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I would either like to see the 5.0DOHC motor using the FR500C Grand Am cup car intake Or a N/A Alloy block 5.4 DOHC using the Ford GT heads and a verison of the 2000 R-code intake!!! :happy feet: Fully forged bottom end, 7000rpm redline, a decent transmission "maybe TKO500 w/ 26 spline input shaft", and some damn rear end gear options w/ 4.10's being a minimum!!!! And PLEASE, PLEASE put it on a diet and drop some weight, the corvettes are weighing in at 3100-3200 lbs.!!!! I can assure you, build it for $35K or less and they will come!!!! :bowdown: And the Mustang community will thank you for your support! the company that I work for , are now test running the new 5.0 liter crank that is code named coyote,that Ford is test running in the new engines to replace the 4.6. That would fit the BOSS , better with an aluminum block to save weaght. To be close to original 302 BOSS, and of coarse a few performance mods, exhaust, cold air intake , suspinsion.

Is it in an alloy block? I would think to replace the 4.6 3V it would have to also be alloy. I've heard an iron 5.0 might be used as a gap-filler in the trucks too now that only the SuperDuty will get the 6.2 Hurricane. Any insight you can share? My understanding is the BOSS 'stang will be 5.0 alloy DOHC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedRacer Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 The boss engine program was canceled last year! I do not think there will be a program anytime soon. And with the current energy issues, it's looking worse. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangFanatic Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 The boss engine program was canceled last year! I do not think there will be a program anytime soon. And with the current energy issues, it's looking worse. Stuart The Hurricane/Boss engine program has been limited only to SD trucks for sometime and was probably never intended to provide passenger car motivation. The H/Boss engine is too heavy in cast iron form for use in passenger cars. We are discussing the availability of a Boss Mustang, likely powered by a revised modular V8 of 5.0L - and yes a Boss Mustang MUST have V8 power, preferably 5.0L of it for a correct Boss 302.

Welcome nstanglnd!! Enjoy your stay, great place to hang out and talk about Mustangs. I do know that early in the H/Boss development, an all-alloy 5.8L engine was considered for the Mustang but shelved. Certainly Ford could derive any variety of displacements from the H/Boss architecture (including 5.0L) if so inclined. However, given the current state of affairs at Ford, they will simply go with the modified modular design - for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 I think Ford will be hard pressed to get the new Mustang GT out on the market with it's new 5.0 motor. That combined with the 2010 GT500, I would place $20 bucks that we will not see a Boss Mustang in 2010. Any takers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
