Muscle Car Of The Week Video #13: 1970 Ford Mustang BOSS 302
This week on Muscle Car of the Week, we celebrate an iconic American muscle car - the 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302!
Born from the world of Trans Am racing, the Boss 302 combines stunning looks, impressive performance, and a rich history, making it a true collector's dream.
Here's what makes the 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 special:
Racing-inspired: Built to comply with Trans Am regulations, the Boss 302 boasts a powerful 302 cubic inch V8 engine with unique features like Cleveland-style cylinder heads and a Holley 780 CFM carburetor.
High-performance handling: This Mustang features a lowered suspension, upgraded brakes, and a quicker steering ratio, ensuring exceptional handling capabilities.
Distinctive design: The Boss 302 stands out with its iconic features like the shaker hood scoop, sport slat louvers on the rear window, blacked-out treatment on the rear, and signature Boss 302 striping.
Limited production: With only 6,318 units manufactured in 1970, the Boss 302 is a rare and sought-after muscle car.
The 1970 Ford Mustang BOSS 302 is one of our favorite cars in the Brothers Collection, as it has a design purpose that traces back to Trans Am racing. This Medium Blue Metallic version features the 290 HP 302 Windsor V8 topped with Cleveland style large-valve heads, a Toploader 4-speed, performance suspension, a Shaker hood, and all the visual elements that make a BOSS so cool.

The best of all mustangs the look and that engine unreal
One of the best small block muscle cars. .
Love you Boss 302 Mustang 😍😘😍
I love the Boss 302! However to me the big Boss is the Boss 429 with the Hemi heads.
Semi-Hemi, "canted valves"
That's one awesome blue '70 Boss Mustang!!! I like it and it is one of the best classic cars! :)
My favorite was "Calypso Coral" (orange-like) that was available in '69, which is the one I purchased.
I look forward to Muscle Car of the Week. It's a great series and I always find something new to learn for each car. Love the stories behind each car. Keep up the good work, and thanks.
Nice love your shows
Thanks!
Your welcome
Nice ride, one of my favorites
Wow, this guy is very knowledgeable
He should have talked up the bottom end of the 302 motor and rear diff. but yeah ...... if you don';t know much about a Boss 302 I can understand how he might sound smart.
the front spoiler makes a huge difference in top end stability and engine cooling as it cuts down lift and helps engine bay air flow downward.instead of packing it all up under the hood. I added a custom one to my 66 GT and drove thru NC on a 100 + degree day with the temp on 160. also pulled the two rear pins on my glass Shelby hood for a test and with the spoiler on would stay glued down, with out the spoiler at around 40 mph the back of the hood start to lift off the body. easy worthwhile mod.
I would so LOVE to own one of these babies. Boss 302 in Grabber Blue is my all time favorite Mustang.
phillyphilhouse79> Mine is in my profile pic. Your dream, Grabber Blue 1970 Boss 302. Race 'em if you got 'em!
Kirk Boand Nice. I'm sure it cost you a pretty penny. All worth it in the end though.
I've got one of the Grabber Blues. Bought it in 1987. Hated the color and changed it to the Lime Gold ..........planning to change it back to Grabber Blue.
@@PresidentGas1 should I get one in yellow or blue
@@AlejandroP1980s Not a huge fan of either color but Grabber Blue (which was almost as out of favor in 1987 as possible) ......... has since become a color back in vogue.
These heads were fantastic. You could argue that closed chamber Cleveland heads were the best all around, mass produced heads ever made during the muscle car era. Boss 429 heads, Chevy LS6 heads, and Chrysler Hemi heads were the greatest I suppose, but closed chamber 4V Cleveland heads were awesome all around cast iron everyday street heads.
I wonder if trans am rules didn't allow hemi heads? Because if this car had a hemi head I wonder how it would perform
I agree that these heads are the best I've ever used. My Boss 302 runs in "B" Stock all over the Midwest and after a freshening up at Arbor Garage in Omaha, Nebraska, it put out 612 HP on the dyno and ran a 10.88 1/4 mile E.T., bettering my 11.03 ET standing time. I also will say that the Chrysler Hemi Heads are probably the most popular heads ever, for street or strip, but they have their place just like the Closed Chamber 4V Cleveland Heads fit and perform on "The Boss" perfectly! Race 'em if you got em, guys!
If you could make it work, you may have trouble perfecting the settings for just about all facets of the upper end. Also, marrying it all together may give problems in the bottom end too! (whoa!) Cool thought though.
they could use any head as long as it was a production head. In 68 they were running tunnel port heads but they had issues with them oiling and such. When the Cleveland head was made they experimented with mocking them on the Windsor block. they found the motor made better power with the new production Cleveland head than the special tunnelport.
yep agreed 4v closed chamber on a windsor block dangerous revving capabilities
My favorite car ever
You could get the mach 1 package in the boss which included a factory tach, center console and rim blow steering wheel.
Really Like your Muscle car of the week series... Keep up the good work...
pretty sure they had different spindles too with bigger bearings
pull the wire from rev limiter , shift point now 7.100 rpm
Mine was always 7200 RPM's. That motor will let you hold it at 7200 RPM's through every shift, if you're fast enough. A great runner (like mine) will pull the front wheels off the ground for 1 1/2 ft. in 1st gear, 3/4" in 2nd gear, and just a tad in 3rd gear. Dyno'd at 612 HP., it has made me proud since 1970! Race 'em if you got 'em, guys!
@@Boss302Kirk My '69, even with Doug Thorely headers, porting and polishing heads and matching the intakes, wouldn't dyno anywhere NEAR 600HP, lol. It was MUCH faster than a STOCK Boss302, which would do the "1320" in about 15 seconds. Pulling the front wheels off the ground wouldn't happen UNLESS you had it "blue printed" AND bolted a BIG ASS BLOWER on it!!!
me and my cousin we wuz out cruisin in my 383 road runner--i was told that that 383 was the 3rd fastest car in the world and we never lost to no 300 CID ford.
I had a 383 1970 roadrunner, they were boats. Needed atleast a 440cid to make those pigs fly.
I can't believe that even on this Boss 302, the rear wing is parallel to the slope of the rear window. On every race car including the Bud Moore'sTransAm Mustang, the rear wing is pointing down at the front, to give more down force to the rear end at highway speed to match the front spoiler down force. This Boss is setup for disaster with the rear wing actually giving lift to the rear end at high speed, something Mustangs definitely don't need!
You set the record crooked…..The Boss 302 block is Windsor based with Cleveland heads.
awesome
MrWoodshoes. As long as I can remember, they used a Windsor block with Cleveland heads. I read that when Ford switched from 289 to 302, there were problems with the 302 in racing. Can a 302 crankshaft from a Windsor fit in the 351 Cleveland block? That's news to me. Thanks for the info. John
Always great cars! I wonder what next week?
It is interesting to note, that the "racing" versions of the '69&'70 had NO scoops! The scoops LOOK out of place on the 302 because it is a "Road Race" car NOT a "Drag Race" car!
Yep my 1970 Super Cobra Jet 4 speed W code Mach 1 is a luxury version
I'd still take my 70 Boss 302 "W" code over yours any day.
Gorgeous ponie.🐎 i had a hurst 4spd too.
gerald 413 hey may I ask you something should I get a 70 boss 302 blue like this or a 70 gt500 white or 69 camaro z28 rs
Would you be able to install headlight vents like these on say, a 1967 or 69 model? Just curious
Awesome looking car and I really like the ride height, it makes it look very aggressive. Has it been lowered even more than what it come from the factory with?
Brian, it certainly looks like this one has been lowered slightly more than factory stock. The front end is definitely lowered .
Wasn't 70' only year BOSS for shaker hood? Didn't some have a more sporty looking steering wheel?
It was an option ONLY on the '70
Just to set the record straight, the Boss 302 is based upon a Cleveland block , not a Windsor. It has inherent oiling problems which cause the #1 rod to be the last to get oil after the upper valvetrain which will cause a premature failure of that bearing, which I know from experience. It is a nice video but Keith is obviously reading from a script that is incorrect. The addition of an audio clip of the valve train would say much more than any words from the narrator!
Agree completely ..... thanks !
Incorrect. The Boss 302 is based on a WINDSOR block. It is unique in that it has 4 bolt mains, extra thick webbings in the main areas and the tell tale screw in freeze plugs. The (at the time) us released Cleveland heads were made to fit on the Windsor block after the failed 302 Tunnel Port from 1968.
Amazingly, my 2.2 L 2004 Saturn Ion has the same 0-60 MPH time as this Boss. Think about that for a moment.
Boss 302's were NOT designed to jump off the line ..... they were designed to rev at 7,000 RPM for 10 hours a day. They were pigs from a standing start.
@@PresidentGas1 Yes, that is so true.... PLUS, I wonder what the value of PresidentGas1's 2004 Saturn is... Things that make you go, hmmm?
A Focus RS 2.3L, goes 0-60 in 4 sec...........think about THAT, take your time!
@@PresidentGas1 like hell they were , I know a guy who had a 70 boss 302 with 4.30 gearing and he beat BB chevy , mopar and Chrysler's giving up major cubic inches. He said his 70 grabber orange boss was the fastest car he ever drove and this was from a hardvore chevy guy.
@@twolak1972 I own a 4:30 70 Boss 302 and it wouldn't beat hardly anything today off the line. You must not know much about the Boss 302's .... their history and what they were designed to actually do. Drag racing was certainly NOT what they were built for.
Does that rear spoiler do anything at that angle?
its adjustable...i think kinked to the max it is rated at 200lbs ,,,but its not a foil simply a spoiler
All show
the should go back to those kind of car...low price and more moderate power and performance...everyone would want one (including me)
My '69 Boss 302 went for $4300 in '69, adjusted for inflation, about $40000 in today's dollars. Nothing LOW PRICE about that, I would be looking at a Focus RS at that price!
Mine is in my profile pic.
I almost gave a thumbs down but love the Boss too much.
(In my dreams mine is the same color)
Why would you thumbs down!
@@289pinto
Why? No lopey idle, no gratuitous burn out, we wanna hear/see the beast roar!!
No driving footage.
Needs more torque.
Are you joking? This has so much torque for a 302!
its like a v tec needs revs and the cam will pull you into your seat its a drivers car lol
Stop believing everything you read. Torque is not lacking in these cars....
Like that color. Very cool color. I ise to have 71 351 mach 1. Love stangs'. Nice car.
