42. Re: Any Truth to the Rumor? (score: 1): Author: TigerCoupe@aol.com; Date: Sat, 22 Jan 2000 15:38:49 EST; It is perfectly feasible to install a 302 crank in a 260, resulting in a CID of 273. The deck heights of 8.206 inches on the 221/260/289 and most 302s are identical (the 1973-76 302 was 8.229 inches); /html/tigers/2000-01/msg00478.html (9,992 bytes)

The rods on a standard 302 are 5.090", but Boss 302 rods are 5.155" long, the same as a 221/260/289/289HP.
