Would the 5.0 boss 302 rods fit a mach 1 engine?

I'm about 99.3% positive they will

 

[sn94cobra]

I have been told yes.

I got a brand new set if interested. Still in the box

 

[glittle75]

im 0.7% sure they will not....

 

[sn94cobra]

They are the same length as stock rods

 

[Blkkbgt]

Yes they fit. The rods have the same dimensions as the standard modular rod.

 

[na svt]

Yup, they will fit.

Why would you want to run them? Just curious

Because they are $26 a piece and can handle over 600rw and spin to 8000rpm.

What has to be done to make them work? I doubt they are just a slap in and bolt them up. Also do you know the weight of them? Wondering if they are lighter than stock.

 

[na svt]

They are Lighter than forged rods and the same dimension as stock rods; a direct bolt in replacement.

 

[Stopsign32v]

hmmmmmmm and you say they will hold 600? Has anyone actually snapped a Boss rod? And are they powdered or what?

VMP Tuning is making over 800rwhp with them, so is Maximum Velocity in TX....they are making over 800rwhp with them through an AUTO.

Best play to get them at? All it will take is Ford to realize what is going on and the price will go up 3 fold!

They are powder forged the same as the gt500 rods.

I think I've read that the Ford Dealership sells them that cheap. I'll check tomorrow, I work there. I'll probably pick me up a set for that price and set them aside.

That was my idea. Does anyone know the part number for them?

Call or PM Tousley Ford and they'll give you an SVTP discount.
