Should I keep my 302, get a 351 w for $700 or get a stroker kit? Can I use my headers on the 351? How much hp can my drive train handle? If I get a stroker kit does anything have to be done to my block?

thanx

you need 351w specific 'swap' headers in a fox.
my $0.02, get the 351w. when you get tired with that, stroke it!

you can never go wrong with a 351...... and it is even better when you make that baby into a 427!

Do you have your heads/intake/cam already? What is the rest of your combo and what are your goals? a 351 needs a new hood, oil pan, accesory brakets, and many other little things that quickly drive up the price.
