    Okay...
    Where do you get the adapter plates?

    Where do you get the FE covers made for the 302?

    I have seen one set on eBay, long ago, that said "427" on them.
    Love 'em. Hope there is a set that doesn't have an engine size...
    Anyway, I haven't seen them since, and would love to get a set.

    ;)They're not FE covers with adapters Dave, they're small block covers with the upper contours of the pent roof 427 covers. :D One or more of the Cobra replica makers markets them as well as others. I don't much care for these, but the Boss covers look better than many of the other SBF covers :)ignore:like the retarded polished aluminum tall Ford Racing covers:slap:)

    I love the shape of these covers, I would remove the BOSS letters and replace then with the maverick dash enblem. (happen to know a prety good machinist)

    I'm over Ford putting the boss name on non boss parts.........what ever

    BTW Granada's did come with BOSS 302.........my dad bought one from the dealer in 78.....LOL

    I guess you have to blame the marketeers at Ford for calling everything "Boss" from trucks to Windsor engines to Larry Shonoda's old stripe kits. It's a shame, because it has really diluted the uniqueness of the Boss cars and engines. can you imagine Chevrolet calling everything a Vette?

    Nothing sounds like an engine breathing through Cleveland heads. it's a very different sound from that of a Windsor. I always dreamed of putting a stroked Boss 302 into a Maverick and pretty soon, I'm going to make that dream a reality.
