There were actually 2 different "Boss" 302 rods... both beefier than stock 
with the larger 3/8 rod bolts.
The C9ZZ-6200-B rods were 5.155 inches center-to-center. Same length as hipo 
289.
And the rare C90Z-6200-B were the shorter 5.090 inch length. Now 
un-obtanium. I have a set in my old 322 c.i. stroker motor. It was done back 
in 1970 before small block strokers became commonplace.
