306 or 331 - best place to get?
 

I need a new short block and would like to know the best place to get one. I would like a 331 or 306 set up for TW heads. I already have the cam and everything needed, just turns out my block and a piston are un-reusable. I'd do it myself with another block, but I don't know/trust the machine shops near me. Also, if possible I am looking for it to be built with a non-roller mexican block.

I think either Coast, D.S.S., or Keith Craft are great manufacturers. Coast has a warranty too. Go 347....same price from Coast.

I've had both and I liked the 306, mine were blown and i would say the 306 ran harded then the 331, then I when with a 351 and I'll never go back to a 5.0 Call D.S.S their good to work with and I think they can help you out with your Ideas

Thanks for the replies, I'll eventruly be going 408-427, but can't afford it right now.

Get ahold of jim shaffer at Indy Mustang, they have many stroker motors and also have a couple diff 306 to choose from i bought a 306 myself and i love it, it runs like a champ!
