| Ford Racing is following the BOSS 302 block release in 2006 with the new BOSS 351 - the BIG BOSS - featuring performance and packaging that will accommodate displacements from 351 to more than 460 cubic inches.
"Whether they're racing in a sealed-engine class, building an all-out drag racing engine, or looking for a street performer, the BOSS 351 block meets the needs of all Ford 351 enthusiasts, at a price comparable with a performance-prepped street block", Brian Wolfe, director, North America Motorsports said.
The BOSS 351 block is based on Windsor 351 architecture with a Cleveland sized 2.75 inches main bearing journal. Available in two deck heights, 9.2 inch and 9.5 inch, the BOSS 351 is designed for performance with 4-bolt main caps and screw-in freeze plugs. Technological improvements such as splayed main bolts, Siamese bores with engineered coolant cross-drilling, front cross-over lifter oiling and diesel-grade iron with 41,000 psi tensile strength separate the new BOSS 351 from both stock and aftermarket blocks.
Max stroke is up to 4.25 inches depending on crankshaft manufacturer with max bore size topping out at 4.125 inches with coolant cross drilling. A non cross-drilled block with increased bore capacity will be available by the end of September.
The new BOSS 351 is built from all new tooling and incorporates technical developments compiled by Ford Racing engineers and racers. This new block is expected to see wide use in circle track racing.
Race specific blocks offer the strength require, but cool poorly for street use and are very expensive for the average enthusiast. The new BOSS 351 block features greater strength than most race blocks, a street-capable cooling design and affordable pricing due to high-volume production. High-volume production also leads to the improved quality and durability you would expect from any Ford block.
Available under part numbers, M-6010-BOSS35192 and M-600-BOSS35195 - BUY NOW! |
