Ya Dave; I herd they were comming back out with the Boss 302.
I made a mexican style Boss some years back but I don't remember everything we had to do. Head bolts with sleve's cleveland type pistons Yates intake.
I am thinking I used a 289 rod, though I bought a after market rod.
Something was differant about the bottom end, I just can not remember what it was.
It's been almost 30 years ago. Kurt
