    Lol. Well. You know what I mean. I just don't want to spend all the time putting it in just to have 3 wheels on the ground

    What kind of Boss 302? The Boss 302 name is thrown around all the time. Are you saying an original 1970's vintage Boss? Or the new Ford Racing Boss 302. If they are stock, you won't be twisting anything!

    Idk with my grandpa. He makes a lot of Frankenstein cars. I'm trading my i6 for it and he plans on using it on a lawn mower frame.

    Even if it's not a boss. I wanted to make sure if I had to brace it or not. That was my main goal

    A belly bar is enough for a everyday 302...

    If it really is a Boss sell it and buy a fresh 347 stroker with the money...
