    I am restomoding my brother's 1969 Mustang fastback simultaneously with my Eleanor.

    It is currently sporting a plane Jane 302 4 barrel engine as seen from the picture below.

    Below is a set-up I am working on to replace the engine. The new set-up will have a 2 barrel Cleveland head and a custombuilt intake manifold. The Cleveland head has been modified to accept the 302 block. This is called a "CLEVOR". It is the base of the BOSS engine.The intake manifold is a Hi-rise, open plenum, air-gap design. I personally fabricated the manifold from scratch. This conversion manifold has been out of production for a long time from the US market. So, my only option is to make one. As for the Cleveland heads, it has to be drilled to accept the intake manifold water passage and head-manifold water passage, and two of the heads water port has to be closed-shut.

    Below is the old power steering unit(for sale), and the Dodge Intrepid Rack and Pinion unit that will replace it. This is the best unit(same as Unique Performance) for a V8 because of the large tie rods that will turn large tires!

    Down rear has a 9" 3.5 gear to be stopped by 11" cross-drilled, slotted, and ventilated rear rotors. to be stopped by 2 piston caliper from a Granada.

    The engine will have a set of 10:1 Clevor pistons, 280 roller cam and lifters, 780 Spread bore dual pumper Holley. Mallory Unilite distributor, Mallory hyfire and coil will take care of the ignition.

    Tires are 225/50/17 front and 255/40/17 rear.

    The car will have front and rear spoilers, new set of chrome moulding and chrome grill surround.

    Interior will be restomoded to a 2 seater.
