i saw a 302 short block from jegs and was wondering if this would be good for a daily driver/strip car. i want it to be able to hold up to about 500 hp but i didnt know how good it would it would be with those hypereutectic pistons. or do u reccomend i should get a 347 stroker kit. would this get ok gas mileage. also van i PLEASE have anyones screename so i can talk to u about the subject. really need help thanks a lot.

 

IM NOT THE GREATEST GEAR HEAD , BUT YOU CAN IM ME IF IM NOT CRAZY BUSY , N2O5077 ON AIM

 

in all honestly why do you want 500hp. that is pushing the limits of the 302 blocks strength. with that 500hp you shooting for 10s..

 

if you are putting down that much power you will want a stronger block

 

i wil run over 500 HP with a stock block, with mods billet 4 bolt mains an a griddle, about 100 dollars cheaper then a R block and just as strong. but 500 HP wil not be verysteetable if you go all motor. i will go against everybody and say build a 347 stroker just do it right and enjoy longlasting HP, all internal componets should be forged no cast or HY.and then balanced. no 500HP car getsok gas milage or aruond 6 miles to the gallon.

 

</P>


the will have to start saying their gas mileage in gallons per mile. *L*</P>

 

BUILD A 351W....OR STROKE ONE...

that is very true, there is no replacement for displacement. but remember they can get costly</P>

 

the stock block can hold over 500 hp. So you do not need to buy another block, just get it tested at a machine shop, magnaflux and honed. And you can get pained nice old Oval blue.

 

that is f#ckin funny but very true
