Really? KB used to make pistons specifically for Boss/Clevor engines, for the 66cc Heads they would give you a 10.6:1 with flat-top or 12.1:1 with pop-ups. FordStrokers.com also used to make a 347 stroker kit to be used with a Windsor block and Cleveland Heads, not sure on the CR, but I'm sure it was 9-10.5.

Yeah, but the Boss 351 was the fastest production Mustang, and you could get a rebuildable 351C for much less than the cost of Boss 302 pistons, plus no need for machining the heads.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I always wanted a Boss 302, but I think I'm going to go with just stroking my 351C. It'll still be high revving, but with a few more cubes and a lot cheaper. 4 Bolt mains too.

with the trw and kb numbers in hand, i think its time to start whoring ebay and maybe local swap meets. there was a guy at the local meet i went to a month or so ago that had boss rods, pistons, and he had tunnel port heads that i've only seen in magazines (like, the rarest SBF factory head you'll ever see)
