I've been offered a Ford Boss 290 out of a current model GT Falcon for substantially less than what the L76 was going to cost me.

Staying away from the Ford/Chev argument for a sec, can you guys give me any info on this motor with regards to performance, economy, how easy to work on, aftermarket parts, etc. How does it sit in the Cobra engine bay, etc.

I'll be researching myself but this engine won't stick around so the sooner I make up my mind the better. I'll need to get an ECU, loom and gearbox as well.

Thanks in advance
