1970 Ford Mustang Fastback 302 Trans Am

My Boss 302 has been constructed following the guidelines outlined in those publications, including the engine and all suspension. The engine features a 1969 steel crank, J&E Pistons, Carrillo Rods, original Bud Moore Mini Plenum 750cfm Holly carb modified by Pro Mod, Crowler roller rockers and a 4-speed Top Loader transmission with a 4.33:1 rear-end. The car started from a genuine G-code 1970 Boss 302 into a near-perfect authentic tribute to Parnelli Jones’ Trans Am Championship winning stallion. The only major deviation from the 1970’s era car are the brakes which are upgraded to a Willwood 4-piston, 4-wheel system.” At the very start, a concours restoration was the plan but plans changed into what you see here. From the body being acid dipped like the originals to consultations with Brian Ferin (current owner of the original #15) every effort was made to prepare it to race conditions for 1970. The engine block is original to the car and was meticulously rebuilt to replicate Trans Am specs by Smokey Yunick Machine Shop in Oceanside. CA. I later installed the original style Bud Moore exhaust system which is thin wall stainless steel. The sound this car makes is incredible!
