Rare 1971 Boss 351 Mustang Found Stashed In A Barn For 46 Years | Carscoops carscoops
A rare Mustang has been found in a barn after sitting for 46 years, and it’s a model that not a lot of people would recognize.As the name suggests, it features a 351 cubic inch V8 engine, mated to a 4-speed manual transmission sending around 330 horsepower and 370 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels.
The Boss set itself apart from the standard Mustang by featuring a high-nodular iron cast crankshaft, high-flowing heads taken from the earlier Boss 302, and an Autolite 4300-D carburetor built specifically for the model. The pistons were upgraded to forged aluminum units, and the block featured four-bolt main bearing caps instead of the usual two.
In addition to the engine upgrades, the Mustang also received power front disc brakes as well as a competition suspension package. You had to be a real boss to wrestle this muscle car as manual steering was the only available option, but the fold-down rear seat and rear window defroster made it slightly more comfortable.
