adam302

Okay well I have a 302 bare block thats on its way to a machine shop. But I'm totally clueless about a few things..

1. Stroker kits? What is the benefit of this? I plan on building this engine on low compression so I can boost it easily, would this interfere with anything or could I build a low compression stroker?

2. What pistons should I consider? I know there are flat top and then there are inverted ones? Which would be ideal for boosting/nitrous?

3. Is there anything I should take into consideration while building this engine? Such as sizing and clearances?

Thank you all!

to help you out a bit:
1. a stroker kit is usually a bottom end motor kit that replaces your factory internals. rods pistons rings bearings crank. for example your 302 can be stroked to 331,347. if you do stroke your motor its wise to use different HCI. you could use the factory but i wouldnt. you could just bore your 302 to a 306 but i think it would be a waste. the benefit from these are mostly more power[8D]
2. the make flat top, dome, and dish. if are going to boost your motor then imo go with dish. you dont want to blow a head gasket.
3. if you never built a motor before you should def. have some who knows help. sizing and clearances are important. what kind of heads you use and their specs in reference to what your building is important. the lift and duration on your cam is important, everything needs to work together for a well performing motor.
