We�ve heaped high praise on the new lump under the hood of Ford�s new Boss 302, calling it �so vigorous and charismatic that its likeness ought to be carved on Mount Rushmore.� Just the thing, then, for your old, your tired, your 4.6L-motivated Mustang. Or perhaps some manner of new-age Track T with all manner of power domes sculpted into the bonnet�the Ford modular engines have always been wide boys, especially when compared to the hot-rod standard Chevy small block.So for $11,999, what do you get? From the box, you�ll get a monster with 11:1 compression, a stonking 8.5-quart oil pan designed to avoid oil-starvation under hard cornering, CNC-machined heads, sodium-filled exhaust valves (hello, Porsche 914 2.0!), forged pistons with sinter-forged rods, an engine wiring harness set up for a manual transmission, and a flywheel. What you don�t get? The powertrain control module and those zippy blue coil-pack covers. If you�re willing to sacrifice 14 hp, GM�s 6.2L E-Rod LS3 crate engine comes in at well under four thousand dollars cheaper and includes an ECU. Oh, Blue Oval children, why must your pocketbooks suffer so for a taste of glory?
