We've been hearing rumblings about a new Boss 302 for a while now, but nothing confirmed. Well, it now [finally] sounds like the plan is a go. Motor Trend writes: "...Ford will launch a 21st century Boss Mustang. And like the storied Boss Mustangs of 1969, it'll be powered by a rev-happy V-8 of about 5-liters. The new Boss engine is an alloy-block, naturally aspirated V-8 developing from the current modular engine architecture. Whisper out of Dearborn is it's good for at least 390 horsepower, enough to tackle GM's 400-horse LS2. The Boss interior will be stripped out to keep costs down. But the good news for drivers is the car will get the impressive Shelby GT500 suspension setup."
