Assuming it will not be put on a twisty track. None will have any drivetrain warranty. The Ford racing will have to be a tunner kit.

+1. The Boss 302 motor, at 11:1 compression, ain't optimized for forced induction; the GT500 5.8, at 8.4:1, is. Why go through all the trouble and cost of messing with a perfectly good naturally aspirated Boss 302 when there's 800+ HP easily achievable from an already-blown Shelby GT500 with a better Tremec tranny in what's otherwise the same chassis? Your car, your choice, but I'd think long and hard before going down that road and potentially ruining your original Boss 302 motor.

Your point has been on my mind except the cost I can save money and do everything to my boss including a trans swap if wanted. The boss trans is plenty strong enough I just want around 550hp not much more then what i have now so I would think it would be cheaper just sticking with the boss. Adding an extra 100hp is not to bad.
908ssp said:I am sorry but anybody who say converting to SC is cheaper hasn't done it. The gear ratios of the Mt82 are all wrong and the input shaft is too weak to handle SC torque. Either leave your Boss alone or sell it.
