This included significantly thinner window glass and bolt-on panels (bonnets, boot lids, door skins, guards etc) stamped from thin gauge sheet metal.\r\n\r\nHowever, weight loss was only part of the Kar Kraft process. Lessons learned from running stock-bodied sedans at 200mph on the NASCAR super speedways and Kar Kraft\u2019s own GT 40 Le Mans program had exposed the considerable performance gains to be made from cars with good air penetration.\r\n\r\nThis was prevalent in sedans with inherently wedge-shaped silhouettes like the \u201969 Mustang fastback. However, Kar Kraft took that a step further by trimming 25mm from the height of the radiator support panel; the engine bay inner guards were then tapered down from the firewall on each side to match. This substantially lowered the front aerodynamic profile of a Boss 302 race car. The inner halves of the rear wheel housings were also discreetly moved in-board by as much as 75mm on each side to provide adequate clearance for the 12-inch wide rear racing tyres, as only minimal flaring of the external wheel arch lips was permitted.\r\n\r\nTo maximise torsional rigidity, the shell was fully seam-welded and two sturdy braces were connected to the front suspension towers; one spanned directly across the engine bay between the two towers (which Moffat didn\u2019t use) and another braced the towers rigidly to the firewall. The base of the towers were also treated to some substantial reinforcing plates as fitted to the road going Boss 302.\r\n\r\nInside the cabin was a fully welded tubular steel roll cage, which blessed the Trans-Am Mustangs with the strength of armoured tanks. Although the Kar Kraft cage designs of the Shelby and Moore teams differed in detail, they were fundamentally similar in that they extended beyond the cabin front and rear to integrate each suspension mounting point into the overall cage structure. This lack of chassis flex would ensured accurate and consistent suspension tuning and performance.\r\n\r\nSUSPENSION\r\n\r\nKar Kraft engineers also went to town on the Boss 302 underpinnings, designing and manufacturing a suspension system based on the road car that was not only immensely strong but also blessed Ford\u2019s \u201969 Trans-Am warrior with the finest traction and handling in the business.\r\n\r\nThe front suspension subframe was notched about 20mm on either side where it bolted to the chassis, which had the effect of raising the sub-frame further into the car and permitting a lower static front ride height. This left only 25mm of belly clearance above the road surface and was another important gain in lowering the centre of gravity for optimum handling and cornering power. It also explains why (in combination with the tapered front sheetmetal) a standard 1969 Mustang looks so high at the front compared to Moffat\u2019s Trans-Am version!\r\n\r\nFront suspension was based on the architecture of the road car, but was considerably beefed up for Trans-Am duty. Forged steel stub axles on thick cast uprights were mounted between strengthened upper and lower swinging arms, with revised pick-up points for geometry best suited to the lowered ride height and camber change characteristics of wide racing rubber. Adjustable rose joints and solid metal bushings featured throughout, with competition coil springs, adjustable Koni shocks and adjustable anti-roll bar and a quick-ratio 16:1 steering box.\r\n\r\nRear suspension rules required that the road car\u2019s live axle/leaf spring arrangement also be retained. As a result, Kar Kraft\u2019s superb \u201cfull floater\u201d nine-inch rear axle assembly (ie a full floater design ensured a broken axle would not result in a wheel parting company at speed) was located by race-tuned leaf springs and a pair of traction bars sitting directly above the springs and parallel to the road. These not only eliminated spring wind-up/axle tramp under hard acceleration, but also served as rigid trailing arms for positive fore and aft axle location.\r\n\r\nLateral control of the rear axle assembly was provided by Kar Kraft\u2019s beautifully fabricated panhard rod. Like the front end, the rear suspension was equipped with adjustable Koni shocks and an anti-roll bar. The static rear suspension ride height of around 90mm which, when matched to the 25mm front ride height, explains why Kar Kraft\u2019s Boss 302 Trans-Am race cars looked like they were literally being pulled down onto the track surface by magnetic force!\r\n\r\nThe net result was a superbly balanced and responsive chassis that blessed the Boss 302 Trans-Am racer with astonishing levels of traction, cornering grip and braking power which belied its modest engine capacity.\r\n\r\nThis was confirmed during a special track test conducted by the US Road and Track magazine at the time. One of the factory cars driven by George Follmer covered the standing quarter mile in a scant 12.9 seconds, generated just over one g of cornering force and almost halved the Boss 302 road car\u2019s 130km/h braking distance from 90 metres to just 54!\r\n\r\n\u201cMost impressive,\u201d commented the magazine staffers at the conclusion of the test. \u201cIt is our nature, maybe even our profession, to second guess and point out ways various people and companies could improve their products. For once, nothing. We don\u2019t know how one would build a better Trans-Am car.\u201d\r\n\r\nAmen to that.\r\n\r\nBRAKES\r\n\r\nManufacturers competing in the Trans-Am were allowed to upgrade the braking system for racing, provided the components were sourced from the parent company or its divisions. Kar Kraft engineers found what they needed for front brakes in Ford\u2019s Lincoln luxury car division, by adapting huge 11.96-inch diameter ventilated rotors and four-spot Kelsey-Hayes callipers designed to stop multi-tonne land yachts like Lincoln\u2019s obese Continental. These big stoppers were fed healthy doses of cooling air from large intakes mounted behind the grille. The road car\u2019s rear drums were also removed and upgraded with the standard road car\u2019s 11.3-inch front disc brake hardware. External adjustment of front to rear brake bias was also possible via a proportioning unit mounted under the floor adjacent to the rear axle.\r\n\r\nThe combination of Lincoln front brakes and Ford rears resulted in different wheel stud patterns front and rear, but under Australian racing rules all four wheels had to be interchangeable. Moffat had to re-drill his wheel centres so that they could be bolted to either end.\r\n\r\nWHEELS/TYRES\r\n\r\nTrans-Am rules specified a maximum wheel width of only eight inches. The Boss 302 racers rolled on a set of super lightweight magnesium wheels, either the American Racing rims or later the UK-built Minilites. Tyres were fat treaded racing rubber \u2013 5.00 x 11.30 front and 6.00 x 12.30 rear.\r\n\r\nENGINE\r\n\r\nThe heart and soul of any Boss 302 Mustang \u2013 be it road or race car \u2013 is the big breathing, high revving 5.0 litre small block V8 engine under the bonnet. This was an engine specifically designed with one thing in mind and even today ranks as arguably the toughest small block pushrod production V8 ever to come out of Detroit.\r\n\r\nThe Boss 302 evolved as a result of the spectacular failure of the Tunnel Port 302 in 1968, not only with race reliability but also the fact that Ford never got around to proving to the SCCA that it had indeed produced the minimum 1000 of those exotic units needed to qualify for Trans-Am competition! Like all manufacturers competing in the series, Ford\u2019s Engine and Foundry division engineers were faced with the challenge of cost effectively producing a race engine on a mass production assembly line. Clever use of existing \u201cregular production\u201d engine components would be needed to meet such a requirement.\r\n\r\nAfter plenty of mixing and matching, it was discovered that the big breathing cylinder heads from the all-new \u201cCleveland\u201d 351ci (5.8 litre) small block V8 (named after the city in Ohio where the new engine was produced) featured the same bolt pattern and bore spacing as the four-bolt main \u201cWindsor\u201d cylinder block used as the basis of the Tunnel Port 302. The new mass-produced cast iron Cleveland heads were well suited to high performance applications and in many ways were superior to the Tunnel Port heads.\r\n\r\nThe Cleveland items featured a canted valve design (ie inlet and exhaust valves inclined towards the combustion chamber from opposite directions) which ensured unimpeded gas flow due to an excellent configuration of the inlet/exhaust porting. The huge 2.23-inch intake and 1.71-inch exhaust valves (which were in fact slightly larger than the exotic Tunnel Port) and semi-hemispherical combustion chambers were further evidence of the new Cleveland\u2019s big lung capacity and competition breeding. Although some of the water jacket passages would need to be slightly modified to suit, the marriage of 351 Cleveland heads with 302 Windsor block became the basis of Ford\u2019s new Trans-Am killer.\r\n\r\nHowever, before this new combo could be approved, in late 1968 it was vigorously track tested against two other engines still under consideration by Ford for use in the 1969 Trans-Am series \u2013 the unloved Tunnel Port 302 and the more exotic Gurney- Westlake-headed 302. Although the Gurney-Westlake version, with its all-alloy casting and integral inlet manifold) proved the fastest of the three, followed by the Boss and the Tunnel Port, the Boss version was given the nod due largely to its use of existing production componentry and the subsequent ease of producing it numbers to satisfy Trans-Am requirements.\r\n\r\nThe Boss 302 engine was produced in both road and full race specifications. 110 special race versions were cast, featuring four-bolt bottom ends, \u201cdry-deck\u201d head sealing (ie crushable o-rings that seated in grooves at the top of each cylinder bore as opposed to conventional head gaskets) and a different oiling system design to suit the new Cleveland heads. These were equipped with lightweight valve sets, super strong valve springs, screw-in rocker studs, steel guide plates for the solid lifter camshaft pushrods, 1.73:1 aluminium roller rockers and improved top end oiling.\r\n\r\nConsidering the sustained high rpm required to get the best out of the new engine in racing conditions, Ford engineers equipped the new Boss 302 with an induction system that could more than satisfy its thirst. Sitting up top was not one but two gigantic 1050cfm (or 1235cfm) sancast Holley Dominator four-barrel carburettors (They were quite expensive to make!) mounted in line on an independant runner alloy inlet manifold. A special off-set distributor was also required to clear the front carby. These giant fuel jugs were fed cool, dense air via a fully enclosed airbox connected to twin inlet pipes mounted behind the grille. By comparison, the road version came with a single 780cfm Holley.\r\n\r\nA variety of induction systems were trialled during the Boss race engine\u2019s development. This included a quartet of twin-choke downdraught 48mm IDA Weber carburettors which proved so successful on Moffat\u2019s car in Australia (Moffat\u2019s carbs were enlarged to 51mm chokes).\r\n\r\nAlso developed was a high rise-style alloy inlet casting called the \u201cCross-Boss\u201d that mirrored that of GM\u2019s \u201cCross-Ram Trans-Am\u201d unit used by Camaro racers. Ford\u2019s Cross-Boss featured two giant Holley four-barrels mounted in an offset arrangement (ie one at the right front, one at the left rear) of the engine but was less effective than the in-line design.\r\n\r\nBelow decks was a forged steel, cross-drilled crankshaft with anti-frothing windage tray, high volume oil pump with triple pick-ups and a big capacity baffled sump to combat oil surge. Thick connecting rods with much meatier big end supports were coupled to 12:1 forged alloy pistons (road versions used 10.5:1 compression ratio).\r\n\r\nLarge diameter, equal length tubular steel exhaust headers dumped the spent gases through huge, unmuffled side pipes. A large capacity aluminium coolant radiator and oil cooler kept the lid on engine temps.\r\n\r\nIn 1969, Ford teams claimed a fully race-prepared Boss 302 engine was producing over 470bhp (350kW) by mid season and could endure up to a staggering 8000rpm in the heat of battle. Mustang racers often complained that the Boss 302 had inherited some of the Tunnel Port\u2019s lack of low and mid-range torque because of its enormous breathing capacity, but no one ever complained about its formidable top-end punch!\r\n\r\nNot surprisingly, Ford\u2019s official power ratings for the factory rev-limited Boss 302 road car were capped at a modest 290bhp (216kW) @ 5800rpm. While many accept that these quoted power figures were primarily aimed at keeping the insurance companies happy, those in the know claim the street Boss was good for as much as 350bhp (260kW) \u2013 especially with the 6150rpm factory rev limiter disconnected!\r\n\r\nTRANSMISSION/DRIVE-TRAIN\r\n\r\nTwo versions of the Ford Top Loader four speed gearbox were available on the Boss 302 road car. A wide-ratio version (2.78 1st gear) was standard issue and a close-ratio (2.32 1st gear) unit was optional. Top Loaders with a variety of ratios were available for the race cars.\r\n\r\n1969 Boss Mustangs came equipped with a nodular iron cased nine-inch differential assembly and indestructible 31-spline axle shafts. Standard rear axle ratio was 3.50:1 with optional 3.91 and super short 4.30 gear sets. A remote oil cooler and Traction-Lok limited-slip centre were also available as options. The race cars were fitted with a pair of differential oil coolers, which were located under the car just in front of the rear axle and relied on underbody air flow for cooling.\r\n\r\nCOCKPIT\r\n\r\nThe driver\u2019s compartment of a Boss 302 racer was bare and business-like. For Trans-Am duty, all the standard carpet, seating and interior trim were removed bar the dashboard pad, which was retained with a new purpose-built instrument panel directly in front of the driver. Other driver aids included a deeply dished sports steering wheel, a hip-hugging competition bucket seat which sat the driver virtually on the floor, a padded head rest attached to the roll cage and a full multi-point seatbelt harness. This could be tightened very firmly by a special ratchet-style tensioner system used in Airforce fighter jets, which was operated by a small crank handle located next to the driver on the transmission tunnel. There was also an auxilliary switch box for the car\u2019s main control systems mounted on the tunnel and an on-board fire extinguisher system. The rear edge of the driver\u2019s door was secured internally by additional bonnet pin-style clips top and bottom, to ensure the door would not spring open due to impact damage in the heat of battle.
