I need some ideas

my car is being torn apart now cuz i blew a head gasket so i am trying to figure out what to do cuz i feel that it would be easier to upgrade the engine now then tearing it apart again.
i have a few ideas on what i want to do but i dont know which route to go

i either want a 331/347 stroker cuz i really like torque at a good usable RPM
or i want to just leave it the good old 302 and build a strong NA or blower engine i like this idea cuz it is cheaper but could i get a good low end and still have it pull to the redline?

would it be bad to put on AFR 185's on for a year as i wait for some money for a stroker?

What power levers would i expect with a strongly built 302 NA?

I know thats alot but i want to know stuff about these the options i could take

thanks for your help

anyone?

Please?

thats what i am leaning toward,leaving the short block and getting new heads and intake

no i am wondering what to do about a cam
what do i do or where do i go, to get a custom ground cam?
i have herd that that is a great way to go i have herd some ppl on here talking about them and they really seem to like them
