Newb 347 stroker? need some help!!

Hey all,

First off I have a '65 Coupe 289 C4. I'm in the middle of a complete reso and have a couple dilemmas. I will start with just one.

My car has sat for the last 10yrs and the engine needs a rebuild. I want a little more hp/tq so I figured I would make it a 331 stroker. That is where my questions begin. I have seen alot of people on here stroke 302s but not many 289 I know that it can be done but is there a reason not to? Also, (and excuse my ignorance here) is there a reason to perform this mod to a roller block vs. a non roller, and why?


Thanks for any help you all can provide

sorry double post

Thanks for taking the time. I know these topics have been discussed before, I did a search but couldn't find the answers to my exact questions.

I guess my question is basicly can I buy an of the shelf stroker kit from CHP or DSS and put it in my 289 (ideal situation) or should thowing down some extra $$$ and buy a 302 or 5.0 block, and what would be the benifits of that?

thanks again
