Mustang Boss 302 - 1969 | 
| The boss 302-cu.-in.

Efficient v8 engine
the racing 302 that powered mustang to three wins on the trans am circuit was based on the tunnel port windsor v8 of the same displacement, but with bigger intake-port cylinder heads, canted valves and individual rocker arms that provided more efficient combustion. The ford mustang boss 302 mated a detuned version of this engine conservatively rated at 290 hp with a fastback coupe.
heavy-duty accessories
the boss 302 package included heavy-duty clutch, springs, front stabilizer bar and daytona rear axle. Also included were stiffer shocks, dual exhausts, quick-ratio steering, power front disc brakes and wide fiberglass-belted tires. The ride
was veiy stiff, but handling was outstanding. A total of 1,934 1969 boss 302s and 6,318 1970s were produced.
