Building a Boss 302 Engine for my 93 Coupe

[bestmustangparts]

I've. Een working on this car for a while and I think I'm finally done collecting the parts I need to assemble the engine.

The goal here was to use all factory parts, as they would have come off the line, replicating an OEM build - TTY bolts and all

Here's the latest post on my blog about the Boss heads that just came in:

I'll update the thread this week as I go - as long as there's some interest

Looks awesome. The blog is laid out very well too. I will be following.

Awesome project!

Wouldn't this be tech as opposed to chit-chat?

 

[bestmustangparts]

Guess I should say - going to include things like how to use a bore gauge, mic'ing pistons and such. Complete assembly of chains, tensioners and so on.

Is it an S197? He is correct putting it here.

Also looks like a cool build.

I was thinking it was more the engine than the car or I would have posted it long ago, as the car has been under construction for a lot longer than i would have liked

You can build the motor for any s197, obviously.

This forum has a bizarre definition of "tech".

Discussing tuning theory (BSFC, BMEP, dynos, fuel, MBT, etc) = Chit chat
Asking how to unbolt a seat = Tech

Wrong! Putting something together for a s197 or building something that others haven't done , or an issue with a mechanical part = Tech !

Seats and other "what about this" BS goes in Chit Chat along with non s197 builds. The OP has a nice thing going, but is not 4.6 s197 tech.

To the op, I look forward to seeing the build. Thanks.

Like I said - I only posted when it came time to assemble the engine. Tell ya what - ill post the details on the engine assembly and at some point, when you realize how much tech is in there, you can move it again

Looks like it was made to be there. Looking good!

You're right.

It would be 5.0 tech...
