Exactly WHEN did I say a broken piston WOULD NOT scruff a wall? You said that was the only cause.
I think we're done.
Now WHEN did I say that? HUH? You're about as dumb as a fence post. And when did you say a broken piston would not scuff a wall ? You NEVER , not once, even suggested that was a possibility. All you do is avoid the issue when someone else shows your logic to be wrong. THAT's your problem. SO good, I'm sure pleased you're done. You didn't have anything intelligent to add here anyway.
But YOU stated that a short connecting rod causing an acute rod angle (btw this angle is measured at the wrist pin in relationship to the rod when the rod and crank journal are at a 90 degree angle on either a power or intake stroke) would not cause the cylinder wall to scruff. DIDN'T you. Einstein.
P.S.
Kiss my ass.
See, there you go againPutting words in others mouths. When did I say that? HUH, Einstein? Go back and reread what I've posted. Or are you capable of doing something as simple as that? You can't even keep what others posted straight to even attempt to put on an intelligent arguement. No wonder no one has taken your side. You HAVE no side to take.
You know, if I considered you to have an iota of intelligence I'd be moderately upset by your tirades and personal attacks. But I do not and am not.
mike, act your age not your IQ. if you had any real intelligence you might clear the clouds from your mind, stop the name dropping, and actually read some of the things that DH has written. you might then realize that while he is not david vizard, he does know what he is talking about.
NOT when it comes to BOSS-302 street motors. I had TWO of them. I know what was wrong with the engine design. If you notice, I don't talk about automatic transmissions, BB FE motors, or BOSS 429's.....why is this....I NEVER owned one. I'll talk of personal experience with BOSS 302's, Gurney-Weslakes, 396/375 BB Chevy's, H-P 289's, 427 BB Chevy's and a few SB Chevy's because I have actually OWNED them. And while a couple of folks on here may have more BOOK knowledge about some engine that, as a friend of mine said 30 years ago when some snot-nosed kid corrected him about a Shelby Cobra and that was this:
"So the kid memorized a list of facts, that will never change the fact that I owned the 29th Cobra ever built, a 289 Cobra and a 427 Cobra. Remember that when someone starts telling you he knows more about one of the cars you have actually owned when he as never had one. All they are is someone who wants to boost their ego with memorized facts."
As has been said before, owning something doesn't mean you know anything about it. I trust something that is published in a book a lot more than some loud mouth on the internet.NOT when it comes to BOSS-302 street motors. I had TWO of them.

i know small block fords, 351w and 351c and 351m and 400 really well, but i've owned v6 buicks, 4 cylinder fords, 4 cylinder mitsubishis and don't jack **** about them even though i've worked on all of them and even rebuilt them.
and you've already shown your lack of knowledge about the boss 302 heads which are identical to the 351 cleveland heads for the most part other than coolant passages and some other minor differences. and the lower end of the boss 302 is pretty much identical to any other 302 other than 4 bolt mains and screw in freeze plugs oh and the aforementioned hi-po 289 connecting rods. so what's to know about it that owning one gives you such knowledge that it's impossible for anyone who has never owned one to know?
it seems to me that you are the one trying to boost your own ego rather than any of us, because you're so special for having owned a boss 302 and most of the rest of us haven't. i own a 69 mustang GT coupe and as far as i know i'm only the one on the board that does, there are a couple of people who have convertibles but i have the only coupe. i don't go around telling people that they don't know anything about my car because they've never owned one but rather i try to share my knowledge with anyone that needs it or asks for it. so, maybe you should rethink your self centered attitude a bit and get over yourself. :Zip2:
You MAY have owned a Boss 302 (so now it's TWO of em?) Yea, right. But there's a vast difference in owning them and REMEMBERING what you did or think you did with em thirty years ago. It's apparent here that your memory is suspect in retaining information accurately. And I could care less of what you think of me. I certainly won't be loosing sleep over your "Highness's" thoughts of us Peons.
PLEASE, read my previous post.....the one about how great Fords ran aganist Chevy's and who created BOSS Mustangs and CJ's. That should make your day.
I read it and there's nothing there..................I'm sorry, did you say something?I think rbohm nailed who you really are. Now be a nice boy and go play with your Dad's HotWheels cars.

I always think this kind of thing must strike the young-uns as verrrry strange: old geezers arguing over who ruled the roost in this category or that, forty five freakin years ago! I mean, I had this same conversation in 7th grade, but that was in 1966!.Her's the truth about street Fords in the 1960's....THEY COULD NOT KEEP-UP WITH THE CHEVY'S AND MOPARS.....not until a former Chevy division president named Bunky Kundsen came over and created the 428 CJ, BOSS 302 and BOSS 429. Didn't like hearing THAT, did you. And please, answer this...exactly WHERE is Ford in Pro-Stock nowadays?
Don't get me wrong, I really like my little 289 65 coupe...but I do know and admit the truth. And the truth will be that if GM builds the new Camaro it will cost the same or less than the Mustang and outperform it in all catorgories. Always has..always will.
