What do you guys think? Is it worth it? stock 302 bored out to a 306, would it be worth the power gains to bolt up my cobra intake and gt40 heads I have on my stock cobra)94 5.0) right now? Would I see close to 300rwhp?

I wouldn't do it. You could get that power with a stock block easily.

That would be a VERY high compresion shortblock, as the pics look as though they are domed pistons. Without knowing the exact details on the pistons, what machine work was done, etc I'd stay away from it.

306 doesnt make any more power than a 302 unless your talking about changing comp. and cam timing. or you stroke it but that is actually adding more cubes by way of stoke. but if you have engine problems now then you might want to freshen up the motor bore it over .30 and but some better piston in there

Boring it .030" over also helps to unshroud the valve and improve airflow into the cylinder, and that DOES aid in power production especially when a larger than stock sized valve is used.
