It's a fuel injected,225hp and 300lbs of torque 302 Windsor motor..The Boss 302 motor was a carbed 302 with Cleveland heads.

Hate to break it to ya man, but there hasn't been a Boss engine made since the early '70s (like '70 or '71). And the Boss engines were very very different from the 5.0 roller motor you've got in your car. Boss 302s had 4 bolt main caps, mechanical cams, Cleveland-type heads, carbs, and a whole other mess of stuff that's long been out of factory production.
