RE: RJP AND Stanley AREN'T SO RIGHT |

Sorry , wrong. At least that's what a fellow named Yunick says. According to Smokey, Ford's Boss '9 dry sump cost about 60 horse-power on the dyno-but was necessary. Of course, you lads all know better than Smokey, I'll bet. To digress, I miss the point of the purile insults that folks like Stanley and RJP seem incapable of posting without. Sounds like some basic insecurities are leaking out on to the web. But back on point, the Boss I built is on the dyno and at present (without a sump or the restrictors that Ford racers employed in '69) needs help in the pressure department. Just like the several 429 Cobra Jets I've built. However the 428 CJs and the 427 MR I've built -while possessing far from perfect oiling systems-didn't run out from under the pump like my 385 motors have. Of course neither did the Boss 302 and the various Windsors (302 & 351) I've built. Or even the 2000 cc OHC Pinto motor that I built for my Alpine. I only mention the mechanical "vita" to suggest that my reports are based on fairly lengthy ,personal engine building experience-not the tech section in the Mustang Trader or wishful thinking. It may be worthy of noting that the folks (Matt and Scott) at my local Ford only machine shop (Powered By Ford Orlando-builders of the Super Trooper-former World's fastest naturally aspirated 5.0 Mustang - have run into the very same problems with the scores of 385 series engines they've built and dynoed,too. I know, I know, those professionals, along with Smokey and the Ford E&Fengineers who found it necessary to install a REAL pump (dual rotor no less) inside a race Boss'9s internal dry sump system are all just plain wrong. If you're own experiences differ ,then congratulations. |
