about a 355, but thats really stressing the 5.0 blocks limits and it is a mandatory 0.060 over which is really not that safe for the street. If it was a racing engine you tore down every so often, you could get by on a 0.060 overbore. Or an aftermarket block you could do it. But why not just get a stock 351 and start there?

347 stroker as big as i'd go for a street setup on a 302 block, as 88 said bigger than than you might as well get a 351W and go from there. 347 stroker w/ a procharger

lol, Friend of mine in Dallas is just finishing a 5.0 dragster w/ 347 and 15psi procharger w/ water-meth injection.
I have running bet with him they wont make 10 passes down the track before the block splits
right in two
