Vehicle Description
This 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 re-creation is dressed in Ford's
Callypso Coral base coat/clear coat paint and Corinthian White
interior. Billup's Classic Cars built this 1970 Fastback Mustang
and added a correct set of Boss 429 shock towers to accommodate the
massive 466ci HEMI Boss engine. The engine is a DOVE 4-bolt main
SCJ block with a 460 crank topped with a set of John Kaase Boss 429
heads and a compression ratio of 9.8:1, making the car very
streetable. The engine is also outfitted with a hydraulic roller
competition cam and custom complete roller valve train. The exhaust
flows through a set of custom-built ceramic coated FPA headers. The
engine made 699hp at 6300 rpm and 623 ft/lbs of torque at 5300 rpm.
The engine is backed by a TREMEC TKO 600 5-speed manual
transmission with a McLeod RST dual-disc clutch turning a Quick
Performance 9" Moser rear end with 31-spline axles and a 3.91 track
back gear set. The car also features Cal-Trac leaf springs and
bars, Hotchkis shocks, Randals Rack power rack & pinion steering,
Ididit tilt steering column, Global West front suspension and
subframe connectors, Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes, CVF front runner
kit, Vintage Air, smoked glass and a Be Cool aluminum radiator with
electric fans. The car sits on a set of 17" legendary Magnum 500
wheels wrapped with a set of BFGoodrich Sport Comp radial tires.
This Boss 429 re-creation is a beast on the street or at the track
and still has all the modern comforts to make it a pleasure to
drive to any cruise or show.
