I briefly mentioned this on another thread and thought that since everyone here is a gearhead, it might be neat to start a thread on it. This is a unique engine and not many people (including myself) get to see one in person.
Some of you here may know Mark Kassab (username mkassab), he's a Unique owner that I did a 427SBF for several months back.
He recently acquired a '70 Mustang and approached me about doing an engine for a Boss 429 clone.
We've spent a great amount of time on the phone and we've narrowed the selection down to a 528ci BBF with Jon Kaase Boss 9 heads. The direction that we're headed is to have a very streetable engine that will still make gobs of power, while turning the standard accessories: A/C, P/S, etc, etc. It will be backed by a Quicktime bellhousing, McLeod RST twin disc clutch, and one of our Semi Pro TKO 600's.
The ordering process has started, the block is being machined, and the parts have started trickling in. That includes this 1050 Quick Fuel Dominator style carb:
The parts list will include:
*Scat Forged 4.300" Crankshaft
*Scat Forged H-Beam 6.800" Rods
*Diamond Custom Forged Pistons, 12cc Dish
*Bullet Custom Hydraulic Roller Camshaft
*Jon Kaase Boss 9 Heads
*Jon Kaase Single Plane Intake
*W.W Engineering Roller Rockers
This will be a very unique and fun build and I can't wait to get started. The desired peak power will be just south of 6000 rpm (cam selected to give excellent idle/low-end/mid-range characteristics) and should be north of 700hp.
Stay tuned, I will update as often as I can.
