260 = 2.87 stroke / 3.8 bore
289 = 2.87 stroke / 4 bore
302 = 3.06? stroke / 4 bore

that's why 260 pistons are hard to get relative to 289 pistons.  because 289
has 302 piston sizes.

also, i _think_ 289 hipo rod is same dimensions as boss 302 rod, as boss 302
used a different crank but i could be wrong.  just something i remembered
reading.
