Thats good to hear. I was only stating my opinion and that is why we started off with a New 302 "R". I have seen problems with severe pistons scuffing on a 289 SS combo using the Boss block and the engine builder brought the short cylinder issue up. He does not have that problem with a older style 289 block.
