New block?

[triostang]

Would anyone recomend a new block? or maybe against it and keeping my stock one. If so I was wondering where to look for a 302 or 351.

Keep the stocker.

I've got a 302 block to sell.

The only reason I can see for getting another block is if you want to get a 302 roller block. Or if the one you have has been bored over too far. I think the older blocks are actually a little stronger as well.

Assuming you have a 289 - yes. You essentially have a roller 289.

* You will have to plug the oil dipstick passage on the side of the block
* You will need to use steel distributor gear for the roller cam
* Firing order is different

Anything else???
