Haha, maybe eventually...but I didn't explain myself fully, sorry. What I meant was that a 351 block and a 347 stroker will make pretty much the same power. Of course you have to take the bore and stroke combination into account. Still the 351 block is heavy so that may off-set any advantage the extra displacement may have. If you had a bare 351 and a bare 302 I would choose the 351. And since you have to purchase internals for it you might as well make the most of that heavy block and do a stroker which will offer a lot more power than a 347 could offer. Plus a 351 block is stronger and can handle more power than a 302...
