boring a stock engine over 30? if so, you wont gain anything. Think of it this way, say you had a 302hp 302ci motor. Thats 1hp/cube. You now have 306ci, so u now have 306hp for a total of 4more hp. Your not even going to feel that. i suggest if your car is completly stock you get some exhasut and gears.
Well from a worn-out 302 (assuming you would rebuild the rest of the bottom end)...to a fresh 306 it would be noticeable and would be a nice thing to do for the longevity of the engine...
But fresh 302 vs. fresh 306...a few horspower maybe...
No, the engines in the shop still.. it's already been bored to 306, but i did a whole bunch of other things with it.. I was just wondering for curiosities sake what would happen if i just bored it stock.

Going 306 you have to use different pistons, that can have an effect.
Like said before fresh 302 vs. fresh 306, hardly anything. I have heard that .030 overbore will help unshrowd the valves a little more.
Like said before worn 302 vs. fresh 306, big difference. I think some people overlook the actuall engine. Spend all this money on a nice set of heads, an a good cam, slap it on an worn out engine and wonder why they are getting beat.
Also, a worn stock 302 vs. a fresh 306 with higher comp pistons, balanced, good rings, world of difference.
