i know i have a stock production type block...i was meaning rotating assembly......a stcok block is plenty stong enough for many applications...the only thing the 302 could have used from the factory was 4 bolt mains. anyways the shortblock balanced, blueprinted and assembled was 2300 dollars. the rest of the motor was a couple more grand. I think it was all totall budget and still has killer parts. The things I bought that i wish I had not bought was the 70mm BBk thottle body......that things whistles louder right off idle than a referee in a basketball game. I also bought that 75mm mass air that is plastic and is a piece of crap, So basically it is a fake 75mm....anyways....street tires will be put to the test this saturday......
