Hey everyone what's up, i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get a good boss 302 block? don't tell me it is impossible because my dad has one but he will not let me use it. for thoes who do not know what the boos block is. it is a 302 that's is 4 bolt mains, and screw in freeze plugs, a very strong block.

 

I think they made less than 10000 blocks so its going to be kind of hard to find one for a good price. You would probably be able to get a dart block brand new cheaper. Also the older 302 block are much stronger, but they don't use hydraulic roller cams, just like boss blocks. You can definitly find a old 302 block at petrys junk yard in westminster.

 

yea but im looking for a 4 bolt main block, not a 2 bolt, and im switching to a sold lifter cam on my next motor

 

DAmn are you trying to get some RPM outta that next motor aren't ya Tim! But like the guy about said they are out there but to find one would take loads of phoning around the all the junk yards within miles of where you live, just start calling the wreckers one by one. If you can't find one that way Dart is the only way out, plus they have 4 Bolt mains, and all round beefy block!

 

save the Boss blocks for the collectors and get your self a R-block or a Dart block the R@ the Dart are better then the boss blocks anyway for strength

 

Last Boss block I saw for sale anyplace was a couple years ago and they wanted $2500 for a VERY used short block.
They got it too, in about 2 days.
I'd get the World block and be done with it, it's new, not 35+ years old too....

 

I just found out that ford racing reproduces boss blocks. Its part number FMS-M6010BOSS302 and they go for $1800 for the block.

 

SWEET! I wonder what kinda numbers they can support!

 

the S block is just a tall deck R-302 block they have been out for years.unless they changed things again.

 

it will take a lot of power but i dont think it will take as much as a older boss, maby i will trying and buy my dads, how much do you think it is worth, it is a boss 302 block, it has manly 12.5comp pistons, 289 rods, cast 289 crank, now its a 302block but it has 289 internals. just wondering what you think its worth, oh yea it only has 8k on the whole thing it has never been rebuilt or anything 8k since it was bought back in the day.
