I think the Boss 302 would be really expensive to rebuild. Parts are not easy to come by. The advantage of these engines were 4 bolt mains and big ports in the heads making very high flowing heads. That was great for road racing engines that didn't need to do anything at the low end and needed only to run well at very high RPM.

These Boss 302's ran 3.89 rear axles with a 4 speed and were built to blast by the Z-28 305's which they did. They ran about 3500 at 70 mph. and peaked out at around 6000. They still didn't do too well in the 1/4 mile. Maybe high 14's.

There are some here that disagree with me on this. Some that know a lot, such as Unit. I still think that even a mild street car such as mine will blow the doors off of a stock Boss 302 in a 1/4 mile race.
