I am not the most mechanically inclined, but I am no where near afraid of getting my hands dirty. I love learning more about engines in generally, I am studying engineering for goodness sakes. I am a powerhog and would love to get more out of my stock 302, I hear stroking that bad boy out is a good way to get some more ponies. However, since I am new to all of this, I have some questions.
1. What are the negative effects of stroking out an engine, long term or short term?
2. Which would give me more power, stroking or boring out the engine? Can you do both? Should you?
3. I will most likely have a shop do the conversion, what should I pay for a job like this, including pulling and re-installing the engine?
4. I will most likely buy a kit, what is a really good kit?
5. What is some information I should know when doing this?
Thanks for your time and your answers!
