Is this an annual event? I most likely won't have my car in time for this year.

Just some bits of info I ran across today.What do you think?

 

Switching gears for a moment. There was a 7 liter Hurricane powered Mustang out at Milan Dragway today. It is code named 777, 7 liter, 700 HP @ 7000 rpm. It is just an engineering exercise so don't get overly excited. It ran 9.20's @ 3300 lbs. Not bad for a two valve SOHC, no turbo, no DI.

thanks, George, ...now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout! ;-)

 

For those who want to browse some more....

 

...here's a link to the above quote.

 

...here's a link to a listing of posts by Blue II on "Boss." Starting to sound like the H/Boss in the 'stang may be dead but Roush is developing a the 7.0L motor (dunno).

 

There certainly is no shortage of bullet-proof alloy aftermarket FE-improved engines out there, but a major development program for a production motor is a whole 'nother ballgame. (I still can't put out of my mind the FE-units that Shelby's engine builder in Gardena, CA is making for the Cobras :drop: )

 

Also, fwiw, this is a pic of a 2V 'hemi' that was posted by an engineer-type at BOF some eight months ago in a discussion of an H/Boss 2V (...being able to breath just fine if the bore is over 4.25" or so but needing 2 plugs for emissions...) I don't know what motor it actually is from and have not been able to find that source since... but I saved the pic...
