Ok, I am deffinitely going with a BOSS 302 engine instead of the 351C. I have decided to increase the engine size with a stroker kit which would make the engine a 331 BOSS. I am also thinking of a supercharger to optimize the ports, what positive/negative affects would be done to milage if this was to be done? I also an curious about the 2000 Mercury Mountaineer 5.0 distributorless ignition system, would it work with the BOSS? Is it possible to install a dry sump oil system? I am also wondering about an after market EFI(Holley for example), what are the pos/neg sides?
I am also thinking of painting the car one of three colors, grabber blue, grabber red, or grabber yellow. Once again, I am undecided which would look best. I also plan on Mustang BOSS 302 striping, I like both 69 and 70, but I would most likely go with the 69 C stripe. What do you all think about which stripe and exterior paint? Would the 69 stripe even fit correctly? I want that BOSS 302 look, but I am not sure if the Mustang Mach 1 spoiler would look good on the Maverick or if it would even fit?
Next, what would be the best type of 5 speed to use? What mods are
required? Or possibly new BW 6 speed?
Please everyone, give me your input.
