gafry Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 With a 5.8 liter in the 2013 Shelby GT500 what would keep Ford from making a 2014 Mustang Boss 351 ???????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 With a 5.8 liter in the 2013 Shelby GT500 what would keep Ford from making a 2014 Mustang Boss 351 ???????? Given the capabilities of the Boss 302's 5-liter as it already stands, I just wouldn't really see the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTwannabe Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I'd rather see direct injection on the 5.0 and turbos added for more power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how the turbos would work with the sanctioning bodies where it races. I know at one point many of the racing bodies didn't allow forced induction V8's.

FPV GTHO Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Have they even announced the exact metric displacement yet to suggest it would even be a 351? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldwizard Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Have they even announced the exact metric displacement yet to suggest it would even be a 351? They played with the bore/stroke to get the 5.4L up to 5.8L Remember the "new" 5.0L uses the same bore spacing and deck height as the 4.6L. Thin wall liners for a bigger bore and a bit of stroke got them to 5.0L Good marketing move ! It is NOT the same block that was used in the FR500. Also, that is not a "standard" block. It is unique. I think it came out of the Ford Racing Catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T'Cal Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I think it would be an outstanding idea to build a Mach1 with a 351 as the next special Mustang. We've had the Shelby, the Bullitt, and the Boss 302 so the Mach1 would fit right in for 2013 & 2014 before the big change in the Mustang away from retro styling. Make mine Race Red with a black leather iunterior and a six speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkirkman Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 My very first car was a 1973 Mach1. Great car right up until the time it was stolen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice-capades Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Speculate all you want Mustang Boss fans but Ford said all along that the Boss 302 would be available for only the 2012 & 2013 model years. There is NO Boss Mustang available for the 2014 Model Year as evidenced by looking at the 2014 Mustang Order Guide. The 2014MY Mustang is the last of this generation and Ford's time and efforts are better spent preparing for the next generation Mustang! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they were doing 2 year like they did for the first Boss 302. But what came the year after? The Boss 351. They might not do it. But why not?

mustang let back Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 now is the time for a BOSS 351 since Government Motors is bringing back the CRAPMARO z28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForgotMyUsrname Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 In for a 351. I wonder if it would take on the name of the "C" or "W" just for old times' sake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
