Well, if you think about it ...29 cubic inches, why do people stroke a 302 to a 331? Thats only 29 cubic inches, if you bore the block 20 over.

Thats a realistic Over 300 rear wheel horsepower...not some of these overblown, good on paper only dyno reading some people get.

I still stand by Stroker...Then later...blower if you want one.
