No need to buy a NEW 302 BLOCK!

They cost about $300, but you can probably pick up a FOX model engine with stock forged pistons for that price!

Or when its all said and done, you can just buy a nice shortblock for $1700 or so.

What are your goals, what do you want to do?

A new block doesnt really do much at all anyway...

Also the tollerances in a new block will vary so differently because it isnt "seasoned" and the stresses arent broken in yet.

So... just buy used... makes no difference in performance unless its cracked!

i STILL dont understand why you want a brand new block when a used block does the same damn thing.

switching a block wont make a difference unless its cracked.

Most storker kits use a .030 over bore so you will prlby need a 306....if you don't bore it you have a 327 or a 344 instead of 331 or 347....and with 306 you can still go to 310 on the better blocks sportsman and R....dart blocks can go much further....but $390 is probly the best price you'll find.

700
???

i thought those were like 900 or better....

if i could get a aftermarket block for like 500 id do it but 700 is a bit steep.

do they still make A4 blocks?

i guess ill keep the one ive got...for now to bad the Dart's are so ungodly.

nomore a4's, but theres a surpluss of them in untouched condition from numerous sources, but theycost the same and perform the same as the new DART SPORTSMAN series block.($1700)

The dart sportsman block is so much better as it required less machining, and is alreayd basiclly machined for a roller, just gotta drill and tap 2 screws for the spyder hold down.

some dude on turbomustangs scored a A4 for $500 with pistons and rods.

Damn him!
