Default To do a stroker or a built 302/306

Im trying to just move in the right direction and not take steps backwards my stock motor is torn down to the heads everything else is gone im thinkin is it worth it to go with a stroker,for the extra performance cubes braggin rights... or should i just do a nice top end on the stock block maybe a 306? what do you guys think and if i could afford a stroker or do one what numbers would i be looking at with like a 331 347? compared to a built 302 thanks guys im moving ahead with the car ill keep you guys updated...

Even in today's high tech world, there is no replacement for displacement

A headed/cammed/intaked 302/6 usually makes around 300 wheel horsepower and torque, a 347 of the same would probably do 340-350.

would you guys go with a 331 347 408 lol i bet a 408 is a little to extreme for a street/ strip car but i sorta wanna go all out but with practicality in mind which is why its hard to get off the idea of a hci 302/6

with a streetable cam it doesnt matter how many more cubes you have, it will still be streetable. anyways you could go against the grain and use a 289 crank

they actually rev quicker than the 302's and you'd never notice the small drop in HP. 289>302....... seriously
