The only differences between a 289 and 302 are the crank, rods and pistons. Everything else is interchangable for the most part.

There's no use buying a new 5.0/302 and then converting/stroking it--- you've just doubled the cost.
Either buy a good 302/5.0 block and stroke it, buy a stroked crate motor or rebuild/stroke the 289.
