Default 302 Rebuild

I am going to rebuild my 95 GT's 302 this winter, but i need some serious help. I want to go with a 347 rotating kit and bore it to 30,000th over, but the rest is all new to me. I am wanting to add some serious power but i dont know what kind of pistons to go with, piston head volume, what kind of rockers and lifters. and what kind of heads, cam, and intake and throttle body that would work best to maximize power. Any input would be great.

i am doing the same thing with a 88 truck block. u have to ask ur self what u want out of the motor. will it be all motor, nitrous, or forced induction.

i am going to b adding 100 shot of nitrous to mine so i am going wiht forged internals (the internals should b forged so you dont break nething) i am also adding a main cap girdle to the bottom end to give it more support

.030 is what you mean which is what a 302 block has to be bored to to become a 347 along with the correct stroke crank and length rods and style of pistons, buy a kit for a 347, it will come with the proper rods, crank and pistons, summit racing sells stroker kits, or check out www.fordstrokers.com and order a kit from him
