My 17 year old son has a 67 with a good running 289 in it and a rebuilt C4, disc brakes, 9" rear. He came across a complete 302 (68) and is in the begining phase of rebuilding it. He's torn it down and gotten prices from the machine shop. WE would like to know more about stroked motors. We understand the principles. Should he just go ahead and stroke it now since he's going this far already? How much more HP will stroking it give him? Is it a good dollar to HP move? And any pros or con's on either the 331 or 347 would be nice.
Thanks!
