I have always thought Ford's Boss 302 motor was a great idea, and I think that one would be very usable in a GT40 replica. Unfortunately, they are few and far between and very expen$ive. However, there was a company (it was called B&A Ford) that manufactured a special intake manifold that would allow one to adapt small port 351 Cleveland 2-V cyllinder heads to a standard Ford 302 block. According to this thread on a different forum http://www.darkhorseracing.net/clevor_head_mod.htm B&A Ford is no longer in business, but Bush Performance is suggested as a source for this manifold. As Murphy's law would have it, the number listed in the thread seems to be a fax number /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif
Does anyone know of a source for this manifold? The darkhorseracing thread is about adapting the Cleveland heads to a 351 W, but I know that there was a manifold to adapt to a 302 also.
Just think--a Dart alloy block with 4 bolt mains and some Edelbrock aluminum Cleveland heads with one of these manifolds--an all aluminum Boss 302! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. My block (no, not the Dart, darnit) is line bored and ready for decisions re: rotating assembly, so I must decide between a Windsor head and these Cleveland heads (small ports, larger canted valves) before I order pistons. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif
