LMAO, my builder is gonna hate me

He wanted an old block. With the negative input I`ve had from many of yall on the older block, he may get a newer one.

He wants the 202 World Heads, he prob gonna get AFR 165`s. Can I get like 10 to 1 compresion with these?

I had a real good week, I may have about another $1000 to throw at the motor now.

I appreciate yalls input, one more question, if I had $4000 to throw at this, headers carb and all, and I buy the AFR`s for $1350, how would yall spend the remaining money? Eagle 331 stroker kit is $1100.....just a thought.


Oh well, if he dont want the job, somebody else will.

If you do the 331, buy 185 AFR's.

I like your thinking. Stroker would be awesome. Second that notion. 165 is great for the stock 302/306 but if you are going 331 or 347, 185s are optimal. 10 to 1 all depends on your pistons if they have the valve relief cut. Sounds like you are going for 400hp now... hehe

Your builder hates us BTW.

The corollary, as Dr. John put it:
"If I don't do it, somebody else will."
