Default The New Boss Engine

I was thinking of buying the new improve Boss Engine and installing a Stroker in it, is it worth it? And I would add on Supercharger with about 8psi. The Engine cost about $1800.00

I would get the Dart Sportsman over the Boss.
Same thing for same money

I've heard head gaskets are hard to find for the Boss since its so new.

To get a buy and get assembled your looking around 4000-4500 for a complete shortblock with either a dark or boss block. You could cheap out on the bottom end but that would really making havinggood block worthless.

No, I want to know how much it cost to get the boss/dart sportsmanbare block ready for assembly and do they accept roller cams?

Machining will usually run about $800

DSS will make you a Dart or Boss short block ...... its called their XR series engine

Boss/Dart 302 blocks bolt right in.
