302 Boss Piston

I am looking for some feed back.

As many of you know, we have a number of pistons special made for us for the 400 Ford and the 347 engines.

We are now looking considering making a 302 Boss piston. Or to make it simply, a 302 with Cleveland heads.

Shoot me back some ideas.

1) Stock stroke, flat top
2) Stock stroke with a small dome for 76cc heads
3) ?????

Thanks in advance!!

I think that the piston should be made for nominal 60cc heads. That covers Aussie, 4V Cleveland, and the aftermarket heads from CHI, Edelbrock, AFD, etc.
that's probably a flattop piston.

Boss 302 pistons

Hey Tim Great job with the parts you already have. I checked your site but could not find your 347 pistons? (probobly just me) But anyway if you dont have the 347 pistons with a 5.315 stroke then you need them. I would like to see boss 347 pistons with the 5.315 stroke also. Thanks Mark

We handle Probe pistons also.

We can get a 347 "Boss" piston using a 5.315 rod from Probe.

Tim,

I have to strongly agree with Dan. Back in the late 80's, we put together a Mexican block 302 with 289 Hi-Po rods and a B&A Street Boss intake running a set of 4V heads and we had a bitch of a time finding Boss 302 pistons. Back then, the big name companies only seemed to make Boss pistons in small batches so if you couldn't afford the extremely expensive custom order, then you had to wait for them to run a batch. With all the EMC hype over CHI heads AND Edelbrocks new series of Boss/Clevor Performer RPM intakes, I think a decently priced Boss piston would sell well.
