Hi Mike,

I don't have a set figure in mind for hp - if I decide to stay with the 302, I'll probably re-use the current block & be looking for around the 350hp like you say.

If I decide on a stroker, then I would want around 400hp to make it worthwhile. I have yet to properly research the options of stroking my block or buying a crate short engine.

In the end, it will come down to looking at the marginal extra cost of the best stroker option above a basic 302 rebuild, then rationalising this (never had a problem with that before) !

Finding a good engine builder will be first challenge.

Kind Regards,

Peter D.
