Well I have had my hands inside on plenty of SBCs and now im ready to move into unfamiliar territory. I want to get a 302 to stroke into a 347. The kits seem cheap enough and I can do most of the machine work required myself which will keep costs down. Now I am looking at running factory GT40 heads that will most likely be ported by myself and a roller cam so I imagine a late model engine from an explorer would be the best candidate to start from. Now according to this site... http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/best-year-for-the-302-block.482448/
late model blocks came with forged internals from the factory. Is this true? Would you guys recommend me starting with a 302 from an exploder for this build. I figure that way I have the heads I want and provisions for a roller cam. I am looking for no more than 350-400hp from this engine. Any and all input is appreciated. Thanks!
