Boss 351 Block Buildup - Who's The Boss?
Was The Boss 351 The Best Boss Street Engine? We Put One To The Dyno Test. When you mention the word Boss around almost any Ford fanatic, chances are the first thing that comes to mind is the Boss 302, usually followed by the Boss 429. Rounding out the top three (if it comes up at all) is the Boss 351. This seems odd as the Boss 351 is without a doubt the best street engine of the Boss trio and is arguably the most powerful small-block ever offered by Ford. Sure, the later Modular engine easily topped the '71 Boss 351 for sheer output and performance, but it took nearly 30 years to topple the king.inline_mediumwraptextrightOur buildup started out life as a two-bolt 351C block. The block was bored .030 over by L&R Engines to accept new forged pistons.
