Keep it and buy a used 302 with the tranny, put it on a stand in your garage and take your time completely rebuilding it. That what I plan to do. You can get a stroker kit for around $500 that comes with everything. When its complete slap it in your Notch and start all over..........

I dont know if I would trust buying my internals for $500 bucks. Too cheap to me. I would be concerned w/ quality.

yea i seen the basic setup but then you still need the rest of the kit. look into it more before assuming its such a great deal. 1800 dollars is everything you need minus machine work and block. those 500 kits arent like that

Here is a link to a basic stroker kit from TMD. I havent reached the time to purchase so I havent done much research. These may be poorly manufactured. Who knows? When I do get to that bridge I will be asking you guys for your opinions for sure.

never heard oh"hawks racing". before buying i would want to see a picture of the actual kit, not just the "example photo" that in the listing.
