    Which shortblock should I get???

    I just decided to buy a new shortblock since I found out today that my rings are bad and I need a rebuild. I narrowed it down to 2 because I am on a budget and am trying to spend about $1,500 or less. Either a Ford racing 302 or a DSS Racing base Bullet 306. Which would you get?
