do a search, as this is pretty broad. the stock block is usually good till 500 crank horsepower. heads/cams/intake is usually the most headache free way of making naturally aspirated power. got the cash? do a blower.

350 to the wheels is a lot to squeeze out of a 302. You can make the job a lot easier if you build the motor with more cubes.

I would suggest a stroker for that power level.
