Mr427,
Thanks for the info. You must have cramps from all the typing you've don today

It is amazing that AC attemped to copy the 356 and came up with the Ace, which turned into the Cobra. The two cars look so completely different than each other. They must have put the plans on the drawing board backwards because the engine in the Ace is in the wrong end of the car! They should have left the copying to the Chinese, they do it much better
Please post some more from that book, I bet it makes great reading.
I used to drag race with Boss 302 in a Maverick.
I would shift at 8800 rpm and went through the lights at 9200 rpm, with stock crank and rods!
When used as intended the Boss 302 was an awsome engine.
I still have a complete short block and 2 sets of heads and manifolds under my work bench
Regards,
--Mike
