Huh? This is the first post I can't make much sense out of. I would recommend reading up on your ideas more.

Well from what i can tell your lost! A 4in stroke in a 302 block IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN! You can turn down a 351 crank and make that happen! Double springs with o-rings???? If you o-ring a head its around the CC where the head mates to the cylinders! unless you are going high compression its a null option! the double springs are dumb for a B-cam plus you match the springs to the cam! just get a single beehive for the bcam! plus if you use a bcam just do a stock rebuild, because you are shooting for the 200hp range!
