Reportedly this rivalry began from a magazine editor who wanted to see who could build the best car.<\/p>\n<p>The engine was a Roush built Alan Root 429 based engine, bored and stroked to a massive 604ci, bored to 4.625 inches and stroked to 4.500 inches, it was filled with a Ford Motorsport forged-steel crank, Carrillo rods and Wiseco forged pistons, developed 10.5:1 compression ratio. The heads started life as FRPP A441 hemi-head aluminum castings, but were CNC ported by Roush and fitted with 2.450&#8243; Intake valves and 1.900&#8243; Exhaust valves. A Comp Cams mechanical camshaft, spec&#8217;d out at 244 degrees of duration (at .050), .630 lift and 114-degree LSA, actuated the valve via a Jesel shaft rocker system.<\/p>\n<p>The remainder of the car was built to handle the power with a C6 Automatic transmission, 2800 rpm stall converter, and a 31-spline 8.8&#8243; Axle with 2.73:1 gears. While the engine bay accepted the BOSS engine with only a small dimple to a strut tower, the chassis was strengthened with Griggs suspension pieces, subframe connectors and control arms.<\/p>\n<p>It has been said, that after appearing victorious in the magazine matchup, Mr Coletti used to drive this car to and from work on several occasions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spec Card<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Original Price: <\/strong><em>unknown<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Engine:<\/strong> 10.0L BOSS 429 (604ci) 16 Valve pushrod V8, Aluminum Block and Heads, 855 HP @ 6200 RPM &amp; 794 TQ @ 5200 &#8211; 7200 RPM<\/p>\n<p><strong>Transmission:<\/strong> Ford C6, 3-speed Automatic<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weight:<\/strong> 3695 lbs<\/p>\n<p><strong>Performance 0-60 MPH:<\/strong> 1.9 seconds<\/p>\n<p><strong>Performance 1\/4 Mile:<\/strong> 10.55 @ 135.05 MPH<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Special Mustangs &#8211; \u00a01994 BOSS 429 Mustang In 1994, John Coletti found himself caught up with building a special car to tangle with the best GM could produce.
