    Lots of vibration from my newly purchased fastback (3000-4000rpm)

    sorry, wish i could be more helpful on your question. My car was restored back to show quality in 1983, and the previous owner really messed it up. The guy who restored the car made the statement in an article on the car and the problems it had in the MAY issue of Mustang Monthly 1983. I have...

    may be a shot in the dark, but if you pull the flywheel make sure its for a 351. My car when it originally was restored had a 351 put in by the original owner, and he had put the BOSS 302 flywheel back in which caused some pretty wild vibration. Just something to think about. Good luck.

    BOSS 302 - How could you let it get like this?

    on my invoice there is no mention of drag pack,coolers, gears, and i might add there are no other invoices with this on them either. Dealer or otherwise, that have surfaced. Although, some cars with coolers have only'optional axle' as a possible identifier, but that still does not justify DRAG...

    BOSS 302 - How could you let it get like this?

    not always. There are documented 430 cars without coolers, and they appear to be original. BOSS 302 Mustangs had staggard shocks as standard. The argument is not IF these cars came from factory with this equipment, the argument is in the nomenclature being used inaccuratley, as to date...

    BOSS 302 - How could you let it get like this?

    I'd like to see this literature you are taliking about, or at least a link. I have 'written' evidence that the BOSS 302 Mustang did not have the option to get the 'option'..i.e...DRAG PAK. As a BOSS 302 Mustang owner, and as someone who feels its imperative to keep the TRUE history of these...
