What HP Level do you want? With the right cam and maybe a little porting work, your AFR heads should do 350 hp on a stock 302 shortblock. If you have your heart set on the extra cubic inches, I believe your only choice from Ford
is a 347...which should be fine if you were only looking
to turn 6000 rpm anyway. The Ford 347 includes
a stronger block (Sportsman) and forged pistons/crank.
In the US it sells for around $ 3,000 or

However for about the same $$$ there are several companies
that will build a custom short block to whatever displacement you want...but whether they export I do not know.

Regards
