Bob,
The 289 XE engine is heavier than the HiPo and the Boss 302.
The rotating parts in the HiPo and Boss engines are skinny compared to the GT40 XE.
Have a look at some rods below for comparison.
The C5FE and SK Rods shown in the photos are true GT40 engine parts and in my XE.
The lighter yellow painted rods are in my HiPo and are a bit heavier than standard 289/302 versions. The Boss and HiPo versions are virtually the same rods with the exception of differing shaped heads on the studs..
