Actually, Unit the Boss 302 weighed less than the new GT. The numbers I have on the 69 with the 302 put it at just under 3400lbs, with the big block going out at just over 3600. The 302 Boss's hemispherical characteristics, were limited to the head design. The boss shortblock is slightly heavier than a standard 302 because of it's metalurgy and the 4bolt main, but not enough to make a major impact. I hope you don't think I'm trying to be confrontational, it's just that I'm very tickled a legitmately hot topic has popped up in CLASSIC. I thought there for a couple of days this one was dead. WHEW!!
