That's a bad ass car.  What kind of induction system did you have?  Your namesake may be an indication.  If so, how was that exotic setup?  I was suggesting the cross-boss for a friend but he seems to want to keep the stock carb on it.  The cross-boss aesthetically is very pleasing to the eye.

Yep, I ran the Cross-Boss and the 875cfm Inline. Check out my avatar...a 1425cfm 'B' Inline on my current Boss 429 (Can-Am 494) engine.

Back when Scott owned the car it ran really strong. He had done a really good job setting the car up. He let me drive it once going down to the Ford Power Parts Show. He drove a Calypso Coral BOSS 302 for me and I got to drive his. It was a rocket.

Hov has a CROSS BOSS and 875 CFM carb on his BOSS and with a good bit of tuning and some minor work it Idles around 900 RPM and has fairly nice manners. I got stuck in Seattle traffic when I drove Hov's car and it behaved itself and was no worse than a stock BOSS 302 to drive that day.

If your friend gets one encourage him to get it running correctly.
