Boss 302 – Original Style, Aftermarket Power

abittle — Mon, 24 May 2010 05:03:19 +0000

Steve Farkas has owned his Boss 302 for over 30 years and drives like it was meant too!
As an airline pilot Steve expects maximum power when he demands it and he turned to JBA for just that requirement.
Designing a 347 Boss 302 before it was popular Steve’s Boss in basically concourse appearance put out 467 flywheel horsepower with manifolds and stock ignition.

The Balanced and Blueprinted four bolt main Boss block has a steel crank and h-beam rods with and NOS balancer and flywheel.
Ported heads and a solid lifer camshaft allow the 7000+ RPM power band to tear up the competition. Steve’s attention to detail makes his Boss 302 a real show winner too! —

More Around the Shop

So I went cruisin all around the shop the other day and snapped some pictures I thought I’d share with y’all. I found some customers being helped up front in the showroom…I also ran into John (our Master Engine Builder) and Tim (Lead Tech) pulling a small block out of a customers Buick GS. Looked like they were getting ready to hoist it onto an engine stand so John and Aaron can disassemble it and begin a rebuild. I found a few other mechanics doing some general maintanence as well as finding a Sprint Car set up for the street! I think the sprint car was getting some dyno tuning done. A few more long term porjects were around too like the ’68 Stingray and ’56 Thunderbird. Anyways, I just thought I’d show y’all whats going on at JBA!

After a couple long weekends of work the JBA team and family finally completed its move from the old location in Mission Gorge to the shop in Kearny Mesa. Now with the whole machine shop moved, JBA is ready to disassemble, machine, assemble and dyno tune your engine on site! If you want to see more just swing by and check it out. I will post more pictures of the dyno later….Enjoy.
