Definitely stay away from the boss 302 block. The cylinders are too short vs a Dart SHP block. On long stroke motors the pistons come too far out of the bottom and can rock. Mahle makes a super short piston which Ford uses in the Boss crate engines to combat this but the piston is VERY short.

Anyone here have a 363 Boss yet?

Semi-related, I know a little about cars, but more about bikes, but it's still internal combustion, ain't it? In the two wheel world, comparable power added setups, nitrous wins every damn time

Plus the whine of the blower is sex to my ears.

2) SInce it's my question, perhaps you could read it before babbling. I was looking at an FRPP crate engine: a 500hp 363 built on a Boss 302 block. My alternative was a 302CI version of that engine with possible forced induction to be added later.
I don't have a huge budget for this project. While I know some of you ballers would laugh at anything with a 3-figure horsepower number, I don't have that luxury. I can't afford to build the fastest car on the road, so I'm working on improving the one I have. I can afford the 500hp crate engine, and I'm considering it. 500 hp is better than the wheezy 1970 vintage 302 I've got that probably makes 250hp on a good day.You live and learn or you don’t live long.
