I haven't heard anything, and I'd doubt it severely.

They junked the tooling for the 5.0 HO motors, much less the Boss 302? The last Boss 302 rolled off the assembly line as a 1970 model.

I can't imagine that Ford would resurrect the old motor. It'd have to be completely redesigned for use on the roads to meet emissions with those clevland heads, and the limited demand due to it's increased size over the standard 302 would make it a pretty small niche motor.

That being said, I'd love one to put in my car! Hehe, good thing we don't have emissions here anymore!
