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! —

Check out the video I made on YouTube from last Sunday as I take on the AutoX competition at the Texas A&M Sports Car Club’s 2nd race of the Spring semester!  Some of the turns were pretty tight but I managed to swing the old Cobra around and take away a trophy for 5th place out of 17 competitors in the Street Tire Mod (STM) class and was only 0.342 seconds from 4th.  I have the video’s from my 3 other runs from different camera angles so I may post those up later when I have time, but until then enjoy, and Gig’em Ags!

Here is another video from my first run as I am trying to figure out the course…

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!

Well I went down to the local 1/8 mile dragstrip just 20 minutes south of me and made a few passes in the old ‘69 Mach 1. I couldn’t get much traction but I plan on returning soon to hopefully hook up and make some clean runs, maybe even head a little farther south to the 1/4 Mile track in Sealy! For now I just made this short little video clip of the 1/8 mile run in Navasota,TX….Check it out and let me know what you think!!!

Dave’s 331 for his 1965 Mustang will be pounding the pavement and the high desert tracks soon.  With a new combination his pump gas naturally aspirated small block made 390+ HP with our breakin carb on the DTS.  Then with 9lbs of boost 561+horsepower at 6100RPM and climbing.  Good job everyone!
