The Boss is Back:

starfox07 · November 3rd, 2009, 1:06 AM

New information is coming in on the 6.2 liter modular that will be appearing in some Fords next year. I believe it is debuting in the Raptor, but I imagine it will sneak into a mustang at some point.

"The Boss is Back" cast directly into the block

Twin spark heads

sohc

From what I have read, this engine has a tall enough deck height to be brought out to nearly 8 liters! One has already made 700+bhp on the stock bottom end with stock heads and a mild cam....naturally aspirated.

This particular engine was in a 3800lbs drag car running 8.50's in the 1/4 mile, again on the stock bottom end. Can't wait to see some more info.

edit: to clear up any possible confusion, its anticipated to be rated around 400bhp stock.

Holy mother of god at the specs.

Love the "The boss is back"

Love it.

What's the smallest car I can fit this into?

NecroJoe · November 3rd, 2009, 1:57 AM

Probably if you fold the back seats down, in the boot of a Aygo.

Oh...wait...you mean to power it? Nevermind.

I hear a TR6 would be an excellent choice.

Wonder what a good crate version would cost....

I think your Mustang would simply explode from the awesomeness (Or the torque, take your pick).

Larry Shinoda is dead, and I really hope they don't plan on resurrecting the Boss Mustang with that.

Nabster · November 3rd, 2009, 2:34 AM

I don't see anything wrong with a 6.2L V8 making 700 HP in the Mustang.

Lupin_IV · November 3rd, 2009, 2:43 AM

Boss 378 just doesn't sound right.

2Billion · November 3rd, 2009, 2:45 AM

They made a V8 Twingo. Anyone up for putting this in a Ka?

Boss 488, however, sounds BADASS.

CLEARLY this thing needs to be bored out to 8L.

smib · November 3rd, 2009, 2:55 AM

Victory.

Of course it does. It doesn't matter what the three numbers are, Boss Mustang sounds awesome.

Well, I can see a problem with Mustang Boss 221.

JCE · November 3rd, 2009, 4:12 AM

Awsome is just not the right word. The sheer brilliance of this engine is mindboggling. I can't wait to see this in a Mustang and F150.
