I'd be very surprised if you can get a stroker for a grand or less.

I'ld save up a few more bucks, $1,000 is def not a realistic budget unless you find a used one. As for which one depends on what your end goal is.

you cant build a stroker for $1k. thats just a fact. The rotating assembly alone costs more than that. Fordstrokers.com is your best bet, but you'll definitly need to save up more cash. there is no benefit to a 306 over a 302 unless you need to have your cylinders cleaned up and honing isnt enough. If your going to fork the cash for a 331 why not just build a 347 for the same cost?

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
