Its very tempting, but I can just see the $$$$ adding up lol.

If you are purchasing rods and pistons anyway then I can't see it adding up to much moer than the parts for a 302. The only place you'd really have to spend the extra dough is the crank.

I know the rods and pistons wouldn't be that bad but the crank would and I still want to do a hci swap... its like any car project it adds up. Basically Ill have about $2500 and im wondering the best way to spend it on the motor. Its got 140k on it and I can't decide If im better off rebuilding the block and just doing an intake or a cam on top of it and maybe just get the heads port and polished or what. Im just trying to think of what I should fo.

just do a h/c/i swap and maybe a set of rings and bearings and you'll be good.... should make around 300 rwhp...

That sounds good, and thats probably what I'll do. 300 was my goal btw.

stay 302 for now to remain within your budget, stroking it will require a different h/c/i
