So I am over in Iraq right now and I decided that I needed a new engine for my car. Here are the specs that it was built at and what else I have got for it. If anyone could maybe give HP estimates or just let me know if it was money well spent that would be great:

302 bored 0.40, I-Beam Ford Factory Forged Connecting Rods, TFS Main Stud Girdle, Keith Black SILV-O-LITE Pistons (9.5:1 CR), Trick Flow's Twisted Wedge Aluminum Cylinder Heads (61cc, 2.02 Intake Valves, 1.60 Exhaust Valves, Trick Flow 1.6 Ratio Roller Rocker Arms), Trick Flow Track Heat Camshaft (Lift: .499/.510 in., Duration: .275/.279, Lobe Separation: 112 Degrees). And for intake I went with 70mm throttle body and spacer, TFR Track Heat Intake plenum, 73mm MAF, 24# injectors. And finally for exhaust (sorry for the long thread) BBK ceramic coated unequal headers, MAC Prochamber H pipe, and Hooker Aerochamber mufflers.

well I would have liked to go the stroker route, but I have gotten all this so far for about 4000 with everything I listed. I couldnt hardly find a long block for a stroker for under 3500
