289/302 question
Ok, heres the deal.. My uncle has a built motor that he took apart and replaced almost everything but the block with bigger and better things (to stroke it and etc.). He said he would sell everything to me if i could get a block. It originally was a 289 that he bored to 306. My question is do i have to have to find a 289 block and machine it or can i get a 302 block to start with?

yeah, but you'd need an early 302 block (2 piece rear main seal) if your using the rotating assembly he has, OR you can have the lip ground off the back of the crank, use a seal saver, and install it into a 1 piece / roller block (you'd still need to use 28oz balancer and flywheel.
for the record though, 289 > 302
