If the shortblock is fresh and done right, no reason you shouldn't use it.

You should also stick to talking about rwhp, since in 99% of cases that's the only number it's possible to test for.

If it were my car, i'd put a good h/c/i setup on it and convert it back to fuel injection.
Then when i had more money add a vortech.
Starting over from scratch with a stroker is going to be very expensive, and the parts you put on a 302 in most cases will be undersized for a 347 or 408.

They sell top end kits that put together a H/C/I combo that make great power for the money you will shell out. check out Trick Flow they have great combo's that make power as is, and they will make tons of power under pressure. If i did it all over again i would have bought a matched top end kit guaranteed to make power.
