Ford Boss 302 engine

<p>The Ford Boss 302 (formally the "302 H.O.") is a high-performance "small block" 302 cu in (4.9 L) <a href="/facts/V8_engine/W7Q5Uw29">V8 engine</a> manufactured by <a href="/facts/Ford_Motor_Company/lY6Wcwty">Ford Motor Company</a>. The original version of this engine was used in the 1969 and 1970 <a href="/facts/Boss_302_Mustang/gC303bEW">Boss 302 Mustangs</a> and Cougar Eliminators and was constructed by attaching heads designed for the planned <a href="/facts/Ford_335_engine/tSrdNNan">351 Cleveland</a> (which debuted the following year) to a Ford small block. The construction was aided by the two engines sharing a <a href="/facts/Cylinder_head/K0RJ8mxT">cylinder head</a> bolt pattern, though the Boss heads had to have their coolant passages slightly modified.
</p><p>An entirely new <a href="/facts/Ford_Modular_engine/RHzNhMXM">Boss 302 engine</a> was introduced for the 2012 Ford Mustang using a variant of the <a href="/facts/Ford_Modular_engine/RHzNhMXM">Ford Modular engine</a>.
