Ford Racing developed the Z331P crate engine to be used in high performance applications where a high reving 500+ horsepower engine is needed. The engine is perfect for vintage racing or open track Mustangs that use a traditional 289 or 302 type small block Ford. The engine is built around a BOSS 302 8.2" deck block with a short 3.100 stroke and roller camshaft. The Z331 delivers performance thats reminiscent of the Trans Am days.
