There's a difference between stroking a 4.6 and the Saleen 302 engine. You're not putting unnecessary strain on an engine that was designed from the ground up to have that amount of stress be a necessary component of it's engineering.
Here's an interesting read about the 302 being underrated:

The 5.0 magazine article isn't the one I remember reading, it must have been in a different magazine but isn't available through 5.0.
My point is that don't take info at face value, even here.

The block is bored the same, the pistons are different because its a different compression, the heads on the Extreme are CNC ported and the PJ is not, and I believe there are different cams in the E engine as well.

so would you consider this a ground up redesign to reach 302ci or basicly just slightly overstroked as compared to most other kits at 298 ci? because a 281E aside of stroking has the same basic set up correct?

I'm sure the cams were probably different from 281 to 302E as well.

The 05-08 Extreme's have the Bumper number and year (ex: 06-1234E)
the Parnelli Jones have the last 4 digits of the VIN (Ex: 1234PJ)
the reason the PJ's don't have bumper numbers is because they were on the dyno before a bumper number was a assigned to the vehicle, so they were done by the last VIN numbers.
