Motor Options
 

If all goes well I will be getting a 95 GT with a bad motor. Guy says the crank is broke. I have a 81 302 block if needed. I am in no hurry but anxious to get it running. It will be a second vehicle/toy, am looking at a couple of options.

Build a strong 302 with good internals for future supercharging...for now maybe bigger MAF, cold air intake, Cobra intake..??

Build a 331 stroker...I am researching this now...may supercharge it later on..not sure what H/C/I to use..I have read using factory upper on a stroker lower is useless.

Ideas, input from those who are experienced or know first hand from someone who has done it would be appreciated.

thanks,

IMHO, HP is addictive and if you want to go the blower route, you'll want to do it right the first time, go with a Dart or equavilant block, instead of breaking the stock blocks first, you'll be glad you did.

yea aftermarket bl0ock is a good thing,like a dart plus with an aftermarket block u save around 500 buck in machine work compared to a stock block.i wouldnt do a 302 or a 331.it cost the same to do a 331 or 347.a 306 is a little bit cheaper but not worth it.i wish i would have got a aftermarket block but my 347 holding good with the stud girdle.
