302 rebuild questions

[banks98stang]

i have so far have .30 over pistons and rebuild kit
i was thinking of just making the motor a 306 but i wanna also consider other options
can i use a different crank besides stock with the .30 pistons and get a larger stroke n power out of my motor

you can stroke it to a 347.

you can also stroke it to 331

With the stock Compression height piston at 1.60" you can not change the cubic inches or stroke with out getting rid of the pistons you currently have. The strokers use different cranks, longer rod lengths and shorter pistons.

So the short answer is NO, unless you want to buy a new rotating assembly.

so just build it with what i have....or sell it the motors going in my 67 cougar

The block can support any of the stroker combos. The crank, rods, and pistons have to change, and match each other.

so theres no crank n rods i can buy to go with my .30 over pistons

Not to add any cubic inches or stroke....

with a 3.4" stroke, 5.4" rod and a 1.6" compression height 302 piston it would only stick out of the bore above the deck by 1/2". lol

just buy a stroker kit that comes with the crank, pistons and rods you want. You can order the pistons .30 over to match your machined cyclinders. Just make sure you know the cyclinder size before you order, if it was .30 over on a stock block your probably looking for 4.030" pistons. Thats the easiest way in my opinion.
