331??

I just came across someone who is giving away a 302 long block. 30 bucks. I am doing a swap in a 92 LX. Im definitely thinking 331 but is stroker kits just use different rods or is the crank modified also. either way who has a budget minded stroker kit that is reliable.

Yes you need a new crank thats where the extra stroke comes from. Full auto is a dealer on this site and have good prices on stroker kits

That is a good deal. I found a guy locally that has a set of 71 model DO0E heads. It is gonna be carburated. I was thinkin those would make a good N/A car with a good cam and intake.

Opinions???

Honestly, no. You'd be giving up all kinds of power. But if you can get by with them until you can buy better heads, then maybe that's what you have to do.
