New Crate Engine From FRPP What it is: A 363-inch small-block that uses the standard Ford 8.2-inch deck height Why you care: Small-block Ford guys were once limited to a mere 331 or 347 inches of displacement if they wanted to increase the size of the 302. Now, using the sturdy Boss block from Ford Racing and a 4.125 bore and 3.400 stroke, you can have 363 inches. The new engine makes 50 hp and 50 lb-ft more than the Z347 it replaces. The advertised numbers are 500 hp at 6,500 and 450 lb-ft at 5,300 on pump gas. We say: Look for an installation in Ron Burgundy, our Fox Mustang project car.
