I haven't really read much on it yet, but will it be a replacement for the R302 or is it a additional product offering? If so, what makes it different from the R302?

well, the r302 only hs 4 bolt cps on 2,3,4, and you can only stroke it to 363ci, and the boss block is way stronger, or so i have read.

I am positive I read that the Boss Block only has 4 bolt caps on 2,3,4 as well. I know that the Dart Sportsman Block has the same configuration as well, where the Dart Iron Eagle has ALL 4 bolt mains.

Ive seen in a few places the new ford racing boss blocks go for $15xx.00

the darts and the world are both great blocks, the sportsman block are only recommended for like 4-500hp, the r302 blocks are way stronger and are up there with the dart blocks, but i think that new boss 302 block is where its at... all of these blocks are siamese blocks except for the sportsman.

Here's a link to the boss block from Summit. It seems like they are trying to keep the profits high on these instead of discounting them where we all thought they would be.
