Back to you Joe.

Cheese302

Of all factory 302 blocks ford ever made, the boss 302 of 1969 and 1970 had one specific feature as the only 302 cars to ever leave the factory with this feature. what is it? This is specific to the block.

screw in freeze plugs

Cheese302

i am not sure that the boss 302 was the only one with that, i was thinking of something else.

if it was though, i'll give it to you

65stangman

Were you thinking of Cleveland cyl heads and not screw in freeze plugs? I dont have any cool Trivia..So how about this.

In the 1968 movie "Bullitt" there is an emblem on the Mustang front fender in some shots..what emblem was it and why was this emblem inaccurate??

mgreene

Were you thinking of 4 bolt mains?

HOSS429

probably a 289 emblem.. i always enjoyed hearing old movie cars change gears dozens of times in a chase scene then stop and see the driver throw it up in " park "

HOSS, If the answer is what i think it is, you are very close.

65stangman

Close enough Hoss, IMDB says it was a GTA emblem (Auto Trans) Your up.

HOSS429

must be a 302 emblem then or a GTA ( automatic car ) edit ,,, didnt see your post .. i`m still guessing

HOSS429

i dont really have a good question .. perhaps what cubic inch would be gotten by putting a 427 crank in a 428 block.. i think i read about doing this a hundred years ago..

Cheese302

DING DING DING. howevr the trivia has gone forth since

HOSS429

someone else can go if they wish ,, my question may be too obscure ,, back in the late 60`s and early 70`s when " class legal " drag racing was going on some ford builders figured out that by putting a 428 crank and mixing some other parts into a 427 block they could get 454 somewhat "legal " cubic inches or some kind of combination to the likes.. i dont have another question

Mberglo

What happened 43 years ago today?

mgreene

Mustang introduced to the public. (I.e., went on sale - I guess you could technically say it was introduced earlier at the NY World's Fair).

Cheese302

nice your turn

mgreene

Although I should wait for Mark give the OK (he can slap my hand if I was wrong) here goes:

On 1970 Boss 302s, there were at least two external trim items that were painted differently from regular (non-Boss 302) Mustangs. What were they? (I'm not talking about big body parts like the hood, trunk, etc.)

Mberglo

Rule 7, Section C, paragraph 3 says I can't do that. Besides, you're right. [Terry Tate, Office Linebacker] You know dat Baby [/Terry Tate, Office Linebacker]
